There is a Registry tweak which can force Windows 10 to keep both old and new versions of Microsoft Edge browsers and allow users to run them side-by-side.īut this Registry tweak must be applied before installing new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge in Windows 10. If you also want to bring back and restore legacy UWP version of Microsoft Edge in your Windows 10 device which has been disabled or removed after installing new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser, this tutorial will help you. There might be many Windows 10 users who want to restore and keep the old legacy Microsoft Edge along or without the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, so that they can run both versions of Microsoft Edge browser side-by-side in their computers. Microsoft has implemented “HideUwpEdgeFromAppListIfWin32EdgePresent” in Windows 10 code, that’s why if a user installs new Microsoft Edge, it hides and disables old legacy version of Microsoft Edge in Windows 10. It’s done intentionally by Microsoft because Microsoft will completely remove and replace old legacy Microsoft Edge with new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge in future versions ( feature updates) of Windows 10. The old legacy Microsoft Edge gets hidden and all attempts to launch old Microsoft Edge redirect to new Microsoft Edge browser. So the new Microsoft Edge replaces and hides the legacy UWP Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 and users are unable to find and access the old Microsoft Edge in their computers. Start Menu will only show new Microsoft Edge shortcut as shown in following screenshot: If you check Start Menu’s programs list, you’ll not find the previous UWP Microsoft Edge app shortcut. If you try to install the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge web browser in Windows 10, it automatically disables or removes the Legacy or old version of Microsoft Edge in Windows 10.
