Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. I have received a lot of PM's and responses here on the matter but they are mostly directed to the right side tiles.ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. I have already created the customization file that removed the tiles from the right.

The differences from a lot of these attempts are we just want the shortcut gone so users who are familiar with Win10 Home/Pro won't use it out of familiarity, I know it is part of the core OS and must stay installed for that reason.ĮDIT: Just to be clear, I want to remove the icon/shortcut from the M section of the start menu (left side). I've been Internet searching all day and only found mention of on Powershell script to unpin Edge and pin IE11 but was a bust. Our organization uses IE11/Chrome for a lot of in-house web based apps and Edge has not been tested nor approved with any of them currently. We're trying to remove the Edge shortcut (not uninstall the app itself) from the start menu via SCCM before the first user logs in.
