RIP: Microsoft Edge Legacy nuked by April Windows Updates

Microsoft has confirmed that today’s release of mandatory Patch Tuesday updates will automatically remove Edge Legacy and replace it with the new Chromium-based Edge. The new Microsoft Edge will be available as part of the Windows 10 cumulative monthly security update on April 13, 2021. Microsoft started pre-installing it on all devices that shipped with Windows 10 October 2020 Update. If you still use legacy Edge or you’ve blocked the Chromium Edge update using group policies/registry hacks, those settings will be ignored.
