Microsoft Edge should not create desktop shortcuts anymore when it updates.
Open the Windows Registry Editor again. The second option that Windows users have is to block individual channels of the Microsoft Edge browser from placing a desktop shortcut when the browser updates. 
It contains a Registry file that makes the change on the system when executed: edge-block-desktop-shortcuts You may also download the following archive. Double-click on the new Dword and set it to 0, if that is not the case already.Right-click on EdgeUpdate and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.
Note: if a key does not exist, right-click on the previous one and select New > Key. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate. Select Start, type regedit.exe and load the Windows Registry Editor. There is a global edit that applies to all Edge channels and edits for each individual version of the web browser.

Prevent Microsoft Edge from creating Windows desktop shortcuts Our Deskmodder colleagues have published a workaround to block Microsoft's Edge web browser from planting new icons on the desktop. Considering that Microsoft released six Edge Stable versions in the past 10 days, it is clear that the issue can be frustrating for affected users. It is unclear if this is a bug or intentional Microsoft has not commented on that.Īll Edge channels on Windows appear to be affected by the issue. With Google using the same four colours for all its icons, it has become difficult for some users to differentiate one from the other, causing confusion and lack of productivity in some cases.Microsoft Edge seems to create desktop shortcuts after every browser update at the moment. Much has been said about the homogeneous nature of the newly introduced Google icons that came last month, disrupting its user’s life in the most colourful way. The extension will soon be made available on Firefox as well. The extension was built by Postinghel for himself until Giulio Michelon who is labelled as the “hunter”, (possibly for finding the design) on the plugin’s website suggested the product designer that he make the plugin available to the public, according to the comments on his website. On the developer’s website, the description of the plugin reads, "This extension restores the old icon on Meet, Calendar, and Gmail to make tabs more recognisable. The Chrome extension “Restore old Google icons” can be added to Chrome and gets the old google icons back.
