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.

Just got force installed Edge. Added icons on my desktop, taskbar everywhere.
Also uncloseable intro on computer startup?
MS reaching all new lows.
I do not have a suggestion, (sadly) but I can back you up on this. Microsoft Edge is slowing down my computer, and I cannot disable it or anything, like the previous variation. I really think Microsoft is **** with their own brand, and ruining the trust of half of the user base. If you didn't buy any license for Windows, I suggest moving over to Linux. (Maybe even Hackintoshing, but that is illegal so only do that as a last ditch effort.)
Yes, it really sucks when people such as richard000000001 tells people the truth about technology, not the lies and garbage that are posted in this forum. So if that makes someone a troll then so be it, as I can't speak for richard000000001, but I'd rather be a truthful person any day of the week than someone who spreads lies and misinformation. I'm thankful I'm in tech so that I can help others, you seem to know only how to toss insults and add nothing productive or sustentative to the discussion.
Bonne chance!
Hello, my name is Richard, and I will do my best to assist you.
I would suggest that you reset Edge. Go into Edge settings and on the left, you will see reset click on that and then re-setup Edge.
I hope this helps, and if you need any further assistance, please post, and we will be glad to assist you.

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!
