The process to restore Edge discovered the users themselves, and it is somewhat complicated:

    We must go to C: \ Users \% username% \ AppData \ Local \ Packages \ and remove Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe
    This breaks Microsoft Edge, so we have to open a PowerShell as an administrator and run (without the quotes) "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | {Foreach Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -register "$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose} "
