    To reinstall Microsoft Edge when the Store thinks it is still installed, use an offline installer and reinstall Edge over the existing (or partially removed) installation.

    1. Open any working browser (for example, another browser already installed on the PC).
    2. Go to https://www.microsoft.com/edge.
    3. Download the latest Microsoft Edge installer for Windows 10.
    4. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. This will reinstall Edge even if the Store entry is inconsistent.
    5. After installation completes, restart the PC if prompted, then try opening Microsoft Edge again.

    If the Store still shows issues after Edge is reinstalled, restart the PC and try the Store again so it can detect the reinstalled browser.
