Nothing happens wihen I attempt to start Microsoft Edge.  I tried to uninstall it but it failed before completion and I am therefore unable to reinstall it.  How can I get Microsoft Edge reinstalled?

Thanks, @buddy215!

So....


As you found out the hard way, uninstalling Edge was/is a bad idea.
Like Internet Explorer before it, Edge is deeply integrated into & has many dependencies with the Windows OS.
If one doesn't want to use Edge, it's best just left alone.

Having said that, repairing may not be simple & may ultimately involve at least repair install of your Windows OS.

But let's start with the “easiest” suggestion:

Please let us know if this resolves your problem.

If it does not, we will need to dig a bit further & try more “involved” fixes.

Thanks
