"UPDATE: In January 2017 I disabled Edge on a new Windows 10 install by simply renaming the "C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe" folder. (If you are asked to allow administrator privileges be sure to answer in the affirmative.) Renaming this folder was not possible in the past without following the more detailed steps below. This much simpler approach achieves the exact same results as the more complex instructions below! However, for older installations and/or Windows upgrades the below instructions may still be the only answer.

 

THE ANSWER BELOW THIS LINE IS THE OLDER ANSWER...

 

As already stated, the other answers are no longer valid due to changes in Windows 10 -- Microsoft has removed all supported methods for disabling Edge. As of today, this answer still works. Although parts of this answer were given, not all of it was given together in a step by step manner.

 

Go to: C:\Windows\SystemApps\

Open folder Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Right click on MicrosoftEdge file then Properties / Security / Advanced / Click Change (next to owner) and change to your username, then click OK

Then Click Edit, then add your username and give full permissions

Rename MicrosoftEdge file to MicrosoftEdge_remove or a name of your choice

Repeat all above steps for file MicrosoftEdgeCP also

Done! Edge will not run!

Been running Windows 10 Pro like this on 100+ PCs for several months without issues.

 

A NOTE REGARDING WINDOWS ANNIVERSARY UPDATE: The Anniversary update appears to undo the above changes and re-enable Edge. In my case I just ran the above steps again, and Edge is once again disabled."

The software that you are using is using legacy file association method to set file extension association with it. It probably uses XP and older registry configuration which has been deprecated since Vista. Windows 10 has pulled the plug on supporting this old method. As the registry is invalid, instead of corrupting things, it repairs it by setting changed things back to default.

 

The solution is to use newer version of the software or use an alternative one.
