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.
Other issues or features related to Microsoft Edge on Windows 10
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
You do have a choice. If, don't like the terms and conditions, then you can find another operating system, such as Linux. Or you can just make the browser of your choice the default and forget about Edge. Sometimes I think you users have nothing better to do than complain.
The issue isn't whether to use Edge.
The issue is that whether we want it or not, the upgrade pushes Edge in our faces and wastes our time doing it.\
Microsoft's usual execrable marketing practices.
Interesting, I got one screen at boot when Edge was updated on my systems. I closed that, verified my preferred browser was still the default, and went about my day. I have yet to see any other messages about Edge.
Maybe you should check the Notifications & Action settings in Windows for your device(s)?
Windows was at its best with win 7 and has declined ever since. Edge one of dozens of "forced" apps that suck. Most of the garbage they put in the start menu I never wanted and will never use.
Microsoft is not forcing anything. You gave them permission to install Edge or any other updates when you agreed to the Terms and Conditions when you installed Windows 10. Microsoft granted you the right to install and use Windows 10 but, they kept ownership of Windows 10 and the to determine what features would be installed, When, and by what method.
Sad to say that you are probably right. Next might be TV manufacturers that force channels you must watch. Buyer beware!
