Hello everyone. So, any help would be appreciated on this.. I had recently reinstalled Windows 10 and ended up using a program that would "debloat" it but now it has got this issue where Edge does not stay installed.. it occasionally vanishes itself and needs to be reinstalled, along with Edge Webview Runtime or something.. I have accidentally broke it and thought it could be normally reinstalled. Any help regarding how to fix it, probably something on the registry or some value that keeps uninstalling it, needs to be removed, If there is no way to repair that, I can reinstall Windows 10 or just install 11 from scratch. Like. From an external USB stick. If I may do the latter, what would you recommend installing? Thank you for your attention to this matter, to whoever is reading!

    Hi there, sounds like the debloater tool removed parts of Microsoft Edge and WebView2 Runtime. Did you use a third-party script or app to clean up Windows?

    If so, that likely caused the issue. The best way to fix it is to reinstall Edge and WebView2 directly from Microsoft’s website, then run System File Checker and DISM to repair missing system files. If Edge keeps uninstalling, reinstall Windows using the official Media Creation Tool from Microsoft and avoid using debloating programs after setup.
