[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 911481, member: 32260"] [B]The legacy Edge can be useful as a secure banking browser. It runs in AppContainer and is very rarely attacked. Furthermore, it is protected by default by some strong anti-exploit mitigations.[/B] The legacy Edge can be used alongside Edge Chromium. The correct way of restoring legacy Edge after it is replaced by Chromium Edge is slightly more complicated: [URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-sysupdate-access-old-edge[/URL] [B]First it is necessary to allow Microsoft Edge Side by Side browser experience. [/B]This can be done by applying the reg tweak: "[I]Setting this policy will set the following Registry Key to '00000001':[/I] [LIST] [*][I]Key: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate[/I] [*][I]Value Name: Allowsxs[/I] [*][I]Value Type: REG_DWORD[/I] [*][I]Value Data: [I]00000001[/I][/I] [/LIST] " But, this will not recover the Legacy Edge shortcut. The shortcut can be recovered as follows: [LIST=1] [*]Press [B]WIN+R[/B] keys together to launch RUN dialog box. [*]Now type [B]shell:appsfolder[/B] in RUN dialog box and press Enter key. [*]It'll open Applications folder in File Explorer. Look for old Microsoft Edge application having old White icon. [URL='https://i.stack.imgur.com/yld0V.png'][IMG alt="enter image description here"]https://i.stack.imgur.com/yld0V.png[/IMG][/URL] [/LIST] Use right-click on this icon and choose the option to create the shortcut on the Desktop or pin the shortcut to the taskbar (or start menu).
