If you insist on disabling Edge, then you’ll need to remember this warning, as it could result in complications at a later date. This will ensure that, in almost every situation, your third-party browser is used for the web. Some core Windows features will rely on Edge, but you can (for the most part) bypass it entirely by setting another browser as your default web browser and ignoring Edge completely.

Warning: Using this guide might cause you lose your favorites, history, and settings.

It's nearly impossible to uninstall the app, and even if you could, you might run into different issues. However, like Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge is part of Windows 10.
If you were running Chrome or Firefox, and you're having similar issues, you should try to uninstall and reinstall the web browser to try to resolve the problem. Some users may run into some issues, such as sudden crashes, slow performance, or simply it won't launch. While the web browser works quite alright without major problems, it's still in the early days.
