Can you verify if you used AveYo's edge removal tool or another script that uses it? There is a specific file needed to be left behind for MSEdgeRedirect to work

I think I used AveYo's edge removal tool when I removed Edge, but I don't recall for sure. Thanks for the very fast reply.

I think this confirms that I used AveYo's edge removal tool.

Odd. I'll look into this. Can you verify you have ie_to_edge_stub.exe in either:

  • C:\Scripts
  • C:\ProgramData
  • C:\Users\Public

@AveYo Any idea?

I fixed the Microsoft Edge redirect not working by re-installing Microsoft Edge from Microsoft's website and using AveYo's Edge removal tool again. However, I'm now getting a different error saying invalid parameters along with the link it's trying to open when I try to open a link in an app.

I could open a separate issue for this if you'd like.

Nope. Let me release 0.7.5.1

Can you check in Default Apps that something other than Edge is set as the Default Browser?

For some reason the IFEO check is thinking it's not being passed data from ie_to_edge_stub.exe

Let me rephrase that. Can you check in Default Apps that something other than Edge is set as the Default Browser?

Firefox thinks that my default browser is set to it in its settings.

Additionally, I pressed the button below and re-ran the same test as before, and I still got the same error.

The reason this is happening is also beyond me.

@rcmaehl After uninstall Edge in system Edge Protocol does not exists anymore, so MSER does not work anymore. Reinstall Edge = Applying MSER = redirect works. Workaround? Add fake MICROSOFT-EDGE protocol IF Edge was removed from system.

This didn't use to be the case. Maybe it is now due to the recent EEA changes. I'll double check this add that in if that turns out to be the case!

I have removed Edge already via > https://github.com/ShadowWhisperer/Remove-MS-Edge
I have reinstalled WebView2 from online installer.
After running MSEdgeRedirect latest version does nothing change.

I can share logs, reinstall standalone edge from web installer if you like.
