- Microsoft Edge Stable, Beta, Dev and Canary, currently are creating a shortcut on the desktop after each update. If you want to prevent this, here's how:
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate
Note: If a key does not exist, right-click on the previous one and select New - Key and rename it accordingly.
Right-click on EdgeUpdate and select New - Dword (32-bit) Value.
Name it CreateDesktopShortcutDefault.
Double-click on the new Dword and set it to 0.

Now this is the sort of thing that Microsoft should be adding to it's updates - the option to turn this kind behaviour off without having to delve into the registry. Instead, what do we get? Tinkering around the edges with things like more rounded corners!! Thank you for this.
Thank you very much! I seriously doubt Microsoft's increasing arrogance is a bug. Their Android app has recently started occasionally harassing me about setting it as the default, and the best option they can give me is "not now", meaning they can harass me later. I don't have any browser set as a default on my phone so that I can choose depending on what I'm doing.
Thanks! It's an absolute rapist mentality that Microsoft has forcing Edge upon us
i hate Edge with a passion, every single time I uninstall Edge but Microsoft is like NOPE! 2 days later it installed itself again. Aaaarrgghhh. It is not that I think Edge is bad or something but I would like to decide for myself which browser I want. Wish they would stop shoving it down my throat. Sigh
Happens to me as well, Edge has re-installed itself twice so far there must be a way of stopping this as I have to uninstall it every time it appears on my desktop
Yeah I see extra shortcuts that I thought was a bug so I always keep deleting it but after sometimes it gets annoying...
This thing has been so frustrating! Thanks for the video! Is there a way to delete edge completely?
Yes...a possible future video.
thx
What do I do if I don't see the key "Microsoft edge"?
That key is not applicable in this case.
@@brentech so I cannot use the key to stop Microsoft edge from creating shortcuts in the desktop?
@@kimxgamer As mentioned...if a key does not exist, you need to create it.
@@brentech oh ok I understand, thank you.
What version of Windows? How to do this with Windows 10? Doesn't have a key for MicrosoftEdge.
You can also follow the instructions in the video on Windows 10.
does anyone facing win key and fn key problems?
suddenly win key and Fn keys stopped working, they don't even work on the on-screen keyboard, but after the restart, they work fine, it was a windows 10 problem I thought it would be fixed after upgrading to 11, any solution, please......!
Could be an issue with software on you pc
@@NazmusLabs could you please tell me, which sort of software are you referring to? and what should I do to fix this?
Who the hell even decided to make this a thing?! My hate for M$ just keeps growing and growing...
