Remove Cortana and Microsoft Edge Permanently

Hi,

How I can remove Cortana and Microsoft Edge permanently from Windows 10 Pro?

I did this successfully by renaming specific folder in "systemapps". But after feature updates installation, it started to work again. Please guide how can i permanently remove Cortana & EDGE from my Windows 10 Pro.

 

Microsoft Edge and CCleaner (v5.42.6499).

I use W10 and IE10 and Firefox, not Edge. Just recently found CCleaner now skips IE Temp Int Files, History and Cookies. Reverted to earlier version, same.
A Google search suggested this could be due to something running in the background. Looking in Task Manager, I found IE and Firefox do not show unless actually in use. However Edge constantly shows in background processes. Initially tried renaming the Edge file in This PC > System Apps –no effect. Then Settings > Privacy> Background apps > Microsoft Edge > OFF – no effect.
The only thing which works is going into Task Manager everytime > Microsoft Edge (5 entries) > End Task.
Is there any way to permanently disable Edge as I believe it is not recommended (or possible?) to remove it?
Only got to this point by trial and error, rather than knowledge.
Thanks for any help.

 

Microsoft is developing a built-in ad blocker for its Edge browser

"One of the first browser add-ons many people install to improve their online experience is Adblock Plus or something similar. Until recently, Microsoft Edge's lack of support for add-ons put off a lot of would-be users, but reports from Build 2016 suggest that native ad blocking is on its way to the Internet Explorer successor.

Adblock Plus is coming to Edge, but built-in ad blocking would negate the need for such an add-on. A slide shown off and snapped at a Build presentation shows that the next version of Edge, in response to user feedback, will feature ad blocking capabilities. There's no word on delivery timescale, but the upcoming Windows 10 Anniversary Update would seem a likely candidate.

ZDNet's Ed Bott photographed the slide which shows Microsoft's development roadmap built around feedback from testers. Right at the top of the list is reference to plans to create a plugin and extension store for Edge, but it's entry number four that's more intriguing.

"Build ad blocking features into the browser" is listed as a Feature Request from users. But the good news is that it is not only listed as being "Deliverable 4682811", but as "Targeted for the next version".

This will no doubt come as good news for those who have fallen in love with Edge, but it's not something that will be welcomed by the likes of Adblock Plus. It does seem that, particularly in the mobile arena, there is a move to baking ad blocking into the browser so it makes sense that Microsoft is following the trend. But it is the fact that Edge straddles Windows 10 on the desktop and Windows 10 Mobile that makes this a particularly interesting move.

Keep an eye out for Insider builds in the coming weeks as the feature may be just around the corner."

Forget extensions, built-in ad blocking is coming to Microsoft Edge - [UPDATE... no it's not!]
