You can do that but Windows will just put edge back next time you update, or on some schedule, or who f*'ing knows anymore? I've done it several times, verified it won't start from the menu, won't start if I enable News and Weather and click it but somehow a couple days later it's back. I gave up trying to fight with it. If I click something and it opens in edge I just close it and try to never click that thing again.

I've given up using Windows at home, I don't get time lately to play games so I don't miss it. But I'm stuck using it at work and I catch myself wasting time getting upset about Microsoft's behavior with regards to this and have to just remind myself not to worry about it, close the window and move on... I'm there and getting paid to work, not to mess around with stupid crap like this, despite how much it irritates me.
