WHY am I being FORCED to deal with Microsoft edge?

This is insane. I woke up, turned my pc on and see that while my computer updated Microsoft sneakily installed a new version of edge. The icing on the cake, however, is that my system's screen was commandeered by an unclosable presentation forcing me to watch a slow and meticulous explanation of all of the changes you've made to my system that I never asked for and want nothing to do with.

This behavior is doing the opposite of what your company wants to happen. These forceful tactics do not make anyone want to use your service and immediately make you a nuisance and enemy to the user. It's as if you as a company feel your users are going to be too stupid to notice this change or too lazy to go back to using their original browser and just passively accept the changes you've made. We're not cattle. We make our own decisions. 

So here I am, taking up my time and energy trying to change things BACK to the way I had them, on the computer I pay a lot of money to own and maintain.

    Your entitled to your opinion but the fact is there are hundreds of thousands, if not more, and the vast majority appear to be perfectly happy with Edge Chromium. While you may not be able to uninstall Edge Chromium there is nothing stopping you from using any other browser you choose.

    I hope this helps and if you need any further assistance please post and we will be glad to assist you.

    No real Microsoft employee is going to see what you posted as we are just fellow users here.

    If you want the actual team to take your thoughts into consideration you need to do it via the Feedback mechanism in Windows 10.
