[FAQ] Everything You Want to Know About Microsoft Edge Web Browser

Microsoft Edge Canary/Developer Builds Updates

If you tried to download and install Microsoft Edge browser, you might have noticed that the setup comes in form of an online installer which is also known as stub, net and web installer. It’s small in size like 1 or 2 MB and doesn’t contain full setup files. When you run the installer, it requires Internet connection to download required setup files from Microsoft servers.

If you want to install Microsoft Edge in many computers, you’ll need working Internet connection in all computers to download the setup files. It’ll waste your Internet connection bandwidth.

Also if you format and reinstall Windows in your PC and want to reinstall Microsoft Edge, you’ll need to again wait for the installer to download all setup files. It might annoy you if it happens regularly.

Microsoft has not provided full standalone offline installer for Microsoft Edge web browser. Offline installer doesn’t need Internet connection at installation time. It already contains all required setup files. Offline installers can be used in multiple computers to easily and quickly install any software program.

It might be possible that Microsoft releases offline installer for Microsoft Edge in future but at the moment no offline installer is available for Microsoft Edge.

  1. Thanks for the tip VG.
    A question. When Edge updates, is it via Windows update or a separate/standalone update?

  2. Running this actually gives some very strange effects. After a few seconds, it opens a version of the browser without the Canary/Dev/Beta identification.

  3. I just installed edge beta logged in with administrator rights (Win7; Win10 64-bit).

    Edgeupdate dir:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Download\

    dir for actual version:
    {2CD8A007-E189-409D-A2C8-9AF4EF3C72AA}\77.0.235.9

  4. Microsoft Edge Stable Chromium:
    c2rsetup.officeapps.live.com/c2r/downloadEdge.aspx?ProductreleaseID=Edge&platform=Default&version=Edge&Channel=Stable&language=en-us

    You can find the Downloaded Installer in:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Download\

  6. When I go to folder EdgeUpdate, it is empty. It must have deleted the update after installation.

  9. Dear Admin,
    Is there any difference between manual update & auto-update of New Edge Browser? One of my Windows 10 Pro x64 systems gets auto-update but another doesn’t. Is it wise to update the Edge manually? Thanks
