Microsoft revealed the new Chromium-based Edge browser will be distributed to Windows 10 users via Windows Update beginning on January 15. Users who wish to block the automatic deployment of the new Edge browser will need to install the Edge Blocker Toolkit.
Microsoft's Edge documentation notes:

"The next version of Microsoft Edge features more frequent and more flexible updating capabilities. Because browser releases aren't bound to the Windows major releases, changes will be made to the operating system to ensure that the next version of Microsoft Edge fits seamlessly into Windows. As a result, feature updates will be released on a 6-week cycle (approximately.) Security and compatibility updates will be shipped as needed."
