    Since Edge is still listed as installed, try repairing it to restore the missing program files:

    Open Settings >> Apps >> Installed apps >> Microsoft Edge >> three dots (…) >> Modify >> Yes >> Repair.

    Keep your internet connection active until it finishes, then try opening Edge. Your existing browsing data and settings should be preserved.

    If Modify won’t open or Repair fails, please share the exact error message.
