Microsoft was released KB4576754, a new update that installs the Edge browser on Windows 10 2004 and all older versions.
After installing the above update, the Microsoft Edge appears installed and pinned on the taskbar while the uninstall button is gray in the list of installed applications.
Microsoft had used the same method to install Edge on Windows 10 users of version 1803. Now, the released KB456754 will do the same in Windows 10, versions 1809, 1903, 1909 and 2004.
The update KB456754 circulates as quality information, so will be installed automatically. After that, the classic Edge will disappear and you will no longer be able to uninstall the Chromium-based browser version.
Not at least in the orthodox way.
