Edge Blocker is a Portable Freeware , the app starts up right away after you download and unpack it , (it works only on windows 10). The interface is pretty basic, so no super skills are required to work with it.

To block Microsoft EDGE use “Block” button and to unblock it click “Unblock” button , once you’ve blocked the browser, it won’t load even if you – or an app – tries to launch , we recommend to change the default browser firs if you have no other browser installed (use defult browser link).Edge icon on the GUI will show the status of the Microsoft Edge , if it is grayed out mean it is blocked.

If you use I.E Shortcut box , Edge blocker will create a internet explorer shortcut on desktop.

In a command prompt, running “EdgeBlock_x64.exe /?” or “EdgeBlock.exe /?” (no quotes) will list all available parameters.

if your Windows user account has administrator privileges, the restriction takes place at the system level, so all users are impacted. On the other hand, standard user accounts can only block Edge on their own account.
