Microsoft Edge failed update

[igorskyflyer]

I checked for app updates using the CLI, it showed a few, I ran the upgrade command for each manually and all of them have been updated successfully, all but Microsoft Edge (from 90.x.xxx.xx -> 91.0.864.37). The command winget list shows that there is a new version available with the Source column value being set to "winget" but when I try to upgrade it shows there are no sources available, the same happens with the upgrade --all command and switches.

Environment info:
Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version 21H1
Installed on ‎22/‎05/‎21
OS build 19043.985
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.2020.0

I don't think (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the Edge msi can be used for upgrades. It always throws a 1603 for me if Edge has already been installed (probably something to do with the MSI installing an appx package, but honestly that's just a guess).

@jedieaston, I think we have some work to do with MSI in the upgrade scenario. I believe (just a guess) if it were an MSIX it would just gracefully upgrade. With MSI there is an UpgradeCode we need to pull and look at better behaviors.

I believe Edge will upgrade itself. If "requireExplicitUpgrade" is added to the manifest, it will be ignored by winget upgrade --all.

True, Edge (as other Chromium-based browsers) auto-upgrades in the background but if it is listed as upgradable then it should be, if not - just ignored for upgrading completely. 😄

❯ winget upgrade Microsoft.Edge
A newer version was found, but the install technology is different from the current version installed. Please uninstall the package and install the newer version.

Unfortunately I can't uninstall Microsoft Edge in Windows 11.

❯ winget uninstall Microsoft.Edge
Found Microsoft Edge [Microsoft.Edge]
Starting package uninstall...
Uninstall failed with exit code: 93

I was trying to uninstall it, so that I could just install Microsoft Edge from the msstore. But I can't.

[igorskyflyer]

Well, I mean, even though it's a workaround but you can always uninstall it via Apps in the Settings. Let me know if that works. 🧘🏻‍♂️

The problem is, that winget uses the Microsoft Edge Enterprise version, which is not compatible with the normal Chromium Edge version for private use. #99536

MicrosoftEdgeEnterpriseX64.msi

Aha! 🤩
Didn't check that, nice catch, hope they'll fix the package soon. 👏🏼

[blap]

I still got this problem...
Any help?

[igorskyflyer]

@blap unfortunately not, I switched to only manual updates of Edge - via Edge itself - in the Settings of it. 🙃
