Hello foxnoodles. I've also attempted to restore Microsoft Edge Legacy using this method.
I reckon you might have entered the command in the wrong location, such as CMD or a similar program.. The command needs be typed into the address bar of File Explorer within the C:\Windows\SystemApps\ folder. However, it appears that it's no longer functioning as expected; at least not for me. While the application does launch, it fails to proceed with the startup process. It appears that something is preventing it from doing so. It might be due to a Windows update, but I'm not entirely sure.
If you happen to find a solution and and succeed in getting the program running, would you mind sharing it with me, please?
Many thanks in advance!
