It's easy to ride down a hill while it's hard to climb the hill back up. No matter how hard you try to bring it back, it won't install back since Microsoft removed the files for the Legacy Edge in the update that launched on its funeral. While home users may find this addition useless, enterprise users may have some apps that require extra testing in the preinstalled classic Edge app, which is available in most of the Windows 10 versions out of the box. No, Edge Legacy had passed away in March 2021.

Then the app uses the IApplicationActivationManager interface to start Edge Legacy with the following appUserModelId: Microsoft. Legacy Edge mode emulates the EdgeHTML engine, allowing to open certain web sites using it. The new edge has to be uninstalled (Beta Chromium & Legacy Version may be installed side-by-side).The legacy edge binaries have to be copied back.According to this post Legacy Edge Launcher now also deletes this registry key: SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\ClientState\ -> BrowserReplacement.

The app enables Side-by-Side mode Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate.This program makes it as simple as a double click (and using UAC one time) to get back to the legacy version of Microsft Edge (Spartan).Ĭurrently this application does not work any more!Įdge Legacy does no longer receive security updates and is lacking a lot of widely used features!
