Edge For Windows Server

The Long-Term Servicing Branch (LTSB) versions of Windows, including Windows Server 2016, don't include Microsoft Edge or many other Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps. These apps and their services are frequently updated with new functionality, and can't be supported on systems running the LTSB operating systems.
Microsoft Edge is the new, default web browser for Windows 10, helping you to experience modern web standards, better performance, improved security, and increased reliability. Microsoft Edge lets you stay up-to-date through the Microsoft Store and to manage your enterprise through Group Policy or your mobile device management (MDM) tools.
This is Windows Server 2019, not 10. To my knowledge, Edge is not installed on Windows Server 2019. Is this an attempt to install the new Edge on Windows Server 2019? I've let this sit here for over two hours and it's not budged. Two servers are affected by it. I can kill the problem by restarting the WU service but it comes back ready.

Supported Operating Systems for Microsoft Edge

Note

Product functionality and feature availability may vary on older operating systems. To ensure that Microsoft Edge installs correctly, use the latest version of any operating system specified below. This guidance includes the latest cumulative update, as applicable.

Microsoft Edge follows the Modern Lifecycle Policy and is supported on the following operating systems.

Windows Client

Windows 7 **
Windows 8.1
Windows 10 SAC 1709 and later ***
Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSC
Windows 10 Enterprise 2016 LTSC
Windows 10 Enterprise 2019 LTSC
Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise SAC ****
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2019 LTSC ****

Windows Server

Windows Server 2008 R2 **
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012 R2
Windows Server 2016 (LTSC)
Windows Server 2019 (LTSC)
Windows Server (SAC)

Important

** We will continue to support Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 until January 15, 2022. These operating systems are out of support and Microsoft recommends you move to a supported operating system such as Windows 10. While Microsoft Edge helps keep you more secure on the web, your PC may still be vulnerable to security risks. In order for IE mode to be supported on these operating systems the devices will need to have the Extended Security Updates for Windows 7. Without the Windows 7 Extended Security updates Internet Explorer functionality will be vulnerable to security risks. Additionally, IE mode functionality may cease to work without the continued servicing through the extended security updates.

*** In the same fashion as above, for Windows 10 SAC releases that are out of support but Microsoft Edge is supported it is recommended to upgrade to a supported Win10 SAC release as soon as possible to remain secure. Microsoft Edge being supported in this state should be considered a temporary bridge to getting to a supported OS state.

**** The Microsoft Edge OPK is available on MOO for IoT OEMs to preinstall and distribute as part of their Windows 10 IoT Enterprise based solution.

macOS

Sierra (10.12) and later
