9. Things I have observed about EDGE on my win10 laptop

Even when I close Edge with the little 'x', It will hang up the cleaner that came with my AVG antivirus. The AVG cleaner will ask if I want to force close it, but then the AVG cleaner is unable to close it. So I had this problem with Ccleaner too but it always force closed Edge after asking. So I keep a free Ccleaner just to close EDGE completely for cleaning.

Another way to close Edge completely is to reboot. Or to keep it closed altogether while using your computer, which I can't do because it runs my email website the best. And some bank websites.

I'd say if Edge is uninstallable then the next best option, if you can do it, is to just not use it after your next reboot.

If this sounds quirky, I'm an old guy who worked in IT operations during the heyday of IBM and Univac Mainframes, so I observe and think a little differently some times.
