Describe the bug

Hello! I'm a new user and I was interested in Disable MSEdge on my PC but every time I run the tweak the terminal says they can't find the Repository.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Tweaks
  2. Click on Remove Microsoft Edge and Run Tweaks
  3. Go to the Terminal
  4. See error

Expected behavior

I expected that Microsoft Edge gets disabled but it apparently didn't.

Used tool for the first time on 23H2 and it removed Edge. Updated to 24H2 which seems to have reinstalled Edge and now the tool gives me the same error.

I think microsoft already checkmate us. Removing edge cause fail to install cumulative update.
I've tested remove edge from winutil against 23h2 and Remove-MS-Edge against 24h2, both scenarios work. After remove edge, I can't install cumulative update, it will get in install fail loop. This means I can't install security update.

@Jeff-WuYo Thanks, i was going to try Remove-MS-Edge but will hold off on doing that for now. FYI for everyone else, Tried winutil on a fresh 24h2 upgrade from a fresh 23h2 install. i Didn't try removing edge first before upgrading to 24h2. Got no error when i ran it on 24h2, But it did not remove edge either. It still shows up and loads.

@Luda83 There are other method to remove edge, mentioned in here.
