Removed Edge using the setup.exe options in the 'program files (x86) ...' directory. Gotten past the May update issue when Edge removed. Now dealing with event log error on startup. Appears to be some 'scheduled task' in regards to Edge or may be something else. Upon startup there is some process that is run from somewhere that tries to run Edge. When Edge has been uninstalled this generates an event log error. Is it possible to disable this process so the event log error does not appear? Here is the event log error message:
