Hey there, I feel your pain—you’ve already successfully wiped Microsoft Edge and Edge WebView using those command-line tricks, but Edge Update is being stubborn even against tools like IObit or Revo Uninstaller. Let’s tackle this persistent component with some power-user methods that actually work:

方法1：针对性命令行卸载 #

Edge Update has its own installer tucked away in a dedicated directory. Here’s how to target it directly:

1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator (right-click the Start menu > select Windows Terminal (Admin) > switch to Command Prompt).
2. Navigate to the Edge Update installer folder (this is the standard path, but double-check if yours differs):

   cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Installer"
   

3. Run the uninstall command with force flags:

   setup.exe --uninstall --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
   

   If that doesn’t kick it off, try adding the specific Edge Update flag:

   setup.exe --uninstall --msedgeupdate --system-level --verbose-logging --force-uninstall
   

方法2：禁用服务后手动删除文件 #

If the command line doesn’t work, we can break the service tie first then clean up the files:

• Press Win + R, type services.msc and hit Enter to open Services Manager.
• Look for two services: Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate) and Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdatem).
  For each service:
  1. Right-click > Properties > set Startup type to Disabled.
  2. Click "Stop" if the service is currently running.
• Once the services are disabled, delete the entire Edge Update folder via command line:

  rmdir /s /q "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate"
  

方法3：组策略阻止自动重装 #

Even after uninstalling, Edge Update might sneak back. Use Group Policy to lock it out:

1. Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc and hit Enter (note: this is available on Windows 11 Pro/Enterprise; Home users can enable Group Policy via a quick registry tweak first if needed).
2. Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Microsoft Edge Update.
3. Find the policy Allow Microsoft Edge Update and set it to Disabled.
4. Restart your PC to apply the changes—this will prevent Windows from reinstalling Edge Update automatically.

I’ve used these methods to help other users get rid of this stubborn component when regular uninstallers failed. Give them a try, and let me know if you hit any roadblocks!
