Microsoft Edge is part of Windows 10 operating system. It can NOT be uninstalled.
If you don't want to use it, just leave it.

However, if you have problem using Edge, try this tutorial :

How to Reinstall and Re-register Microsoft Edge in Windows 10
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/28655-reinstall-re-register-microsoft-edge-windows-10-a.html

Right click at Start > select Windows Powershell > copy/paste the following command >

Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation) \AppXManifest.xml” –Verbose

> press Enter

When finished, close PowerShell, and try using Microsoft Edge again.

That indicates your own user account is corrupted.
Create a new user account for yourself with exactly the same privileges ( i.e. admin ) > logon to it.
If you can use Edge to download in this new account, that will confirm your old account is corrupted.
Stay with the new account for a few days to make sure.
If not issue with the new account after that, go to your old account > backup files you want to keep > delete the old corrupted account.
Yes, you will have to reinstall the 3rd party programs that are in the old account.

I need to know this.......
Is this a Windows PC or a Mobile device that you have problem with ?

 

[aliboy66]

It's a laptop about 3 years old?

First and most important of all, need to fix the " the user profile Service service failed the sign-in user profile cannot be loaded."

Do you have an user account you can logon ?
If yes, is it an admin account ?

 

[aliboy66]

Hi yeah my own and my sons both admin thanks for your help

 

[davidhk129]

Hi yeah my own and my sons both admin thanks for your help

I am confused.
Earlier you said ...... I have loged on my sons account get the same message there.

So, tell me one more time, please.......
Are your own account and your son's account ok to login without the error message ?
Yes or no ?

 

[davidhk129]

Permit me to clarify the situation by the following questions...............

1. In your own admin account, you were not able to download anything using Edge.
Yes or no ?

2. In your son's admin account, you were able to download using Edge.
Yes or no ?

3. You created a new admin account and when you tried to login, you got this message :
" user profile Service service failed the sign-in user profile cannot be loaded."
Yes or no ?

4. You said " I have loged on my sons account get the same message there."
That is contradictory to " when I go on my sons account edge is working fine ".
So, which statement is true ?

5. As of now, are you able to login to your own admin account ?

6. As of now, are you able o login to your son's admin account ?

 

[aliboy66]

Hi, here we go


1,YES

2, yes

3,yes


4, What I meant was I created another account from my son's account and when I tried to log on to the new account I got the same message.



5, yes I can, am, using chrome and computer working fine.


6, yes I can no problem there

 

[davidhk129]

Logon to your own admin account.
Delete the new account that fails to log on.

Try again creating a new admin account > can you logon to this one ? If yes, will Edge let you download ?

Very good.
Yes, you can do system restore the same way as you did in older editions of Windows. same procedures.
The thing is, do you know a restore point when your Edge was working correctly ?
If yes, that will be a great idea.

 

[davidhk129]

aliboy66

Have you done a system restore ?

Seems to me, you might have to do a Repair Install.
I can show you how to if you need it.
