#wintoolkit #wtk #ntlite #windows #gaming #nvidia #debloat
This tutorial will let you safely remove Edge including both WebView and Browser from Windows 11 22H2 and later ISO. This preserves Widgets and other system dependent WebViews as it ships in a different location under System32 folder "C:\Windows\System32\Microsoft-Edge-WebView". Feel free to try it and comment if you found it helpful!
@Britec09 Feel free to test it out. Since English isn't my native you can reach wider audience and many people in your comments asked me how I accomplished it so just made a video. Its long and can be accomplished through any DISM frontend/GUI.
The method is applicable to offline ISO files and not on running systems aka online. For online removal you can download the files in the link below listed as Uninstall Edge.
A little intro to hidden Dism command line options shared by abbodi1406:
All available DISM commands, only for offline image/ISO
/Remove-Edge - Removes All Edge and WebView from image.
/Remove-EdgeBrowser - Removes only Edge Browser from image.
/Remove-EdgeWebView - Removes only Edge WebView from image.
