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.

That looks like great instructions; except, I don't have any idea what all this means.
. Open regedit.and went to
4.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WaaSMedicSvc
6 also went to USOSRV and wuauserv and changed the start sword to 4
I'll have to contact my computer guy to get instructions or let him do it.
I fully agree with Heidi. I like Google Chrom because I have learned how to use it. I'm up in age and don't want to learn anything new. I thought I had gotten rid of Edge. Now, every time I turn on my computer, up pops Edge. Why?

Not true. After the lastest Windows 10 update on my previous computer, Chrome never worked the same again. It was time for a new pc anyway, so I purchased a new Dell. Now, Microsoft won't allow me to run the chrome exe file after I download it. Don't tell me it's an issue with the settings...it's not. Miscrosoft is forcing it's users to use Edge and making it close to impossible to choose other browsers.
I'm going back to my Mac and I'll check in a few weeks from now to see if Microsoft gets it that we won't be forced into using Edge. Bye
Uh ya. I've never seen something like this. I'm a Chrome user but for some reason suddenly Microsoft Windows won't allow me to connect to the internet while trying to download Chrome. Literally, I bought a new pc thinking my old one had issues as it wouldn't work after the Windows 10 recent update.
Brand new, lightning quick pc and I can only browse using Edge. I'm not going to accept being forced to use their browser. I'm also a Mac user and will go back to it before using a browser I didn't choose.
