Let us show you how you can leap back to the older Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 20H2.
How to Uninstall Microsoft Edge Chromium and use Legacy Edge
Uninstalling the new Chromium Edge in Windows 10 will automatically restore the legacy Edge browser. When we try to uninstall the new Edge through Uninstall or change a program in the Control Panel, it does not give any removal option. Similarly, when trying to remove it through the App and features tab in the Settings app, you will notice that the “uninstall” option is greyed out. Since these options are not available, we shall show you how you can still remove Chromium Edge using the Command Prompt. As you may notice immediately, if the Edge browser was pinned to your Taskbar, it will disappear. Moreover, it will also have disappeared from the Settings app and the Control Panel and replaced with the old legacy edge browser. Now you will get the legacy Microsoft Edge everywhere, including the Start Menu. However, if you wish to return to the new Chromium Edge, you can always download Microsoft Edge again. If your goal is to completely remove the Edge browser from your computer, including the legacy app, you can continue down to the next step to disable the legacy Edge as well.
