Windows 10: Removing edge reulting in a lot of problems

So, a while ago i've removed microsoft edge forcefully, since i have never used it and it was annoying me. Everything was fine for a couple of months. But one day i realised that no download from the microsoft store was working anymore. With a good bit of research, i could track the problem to most probably be the removal of microsoft edge.

Microsoft Edge Problems

Resetting Edge to defaults is a pretty drastic step for a fairly minor problem. I have lots of favorites that I would not like to have to re-enter. Edge works well for me 99% of the time. I don't mind switching to Chrome for the few times I have to
access those three sites Edge has a problem with. Thanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll pass on that.
