      Or you can simply use Linux Mint or Zorin OS if you really can’t stand with a new UI

    So, as with many other people. this stuff is certainly pushing me into Linux.

    That said, is there no chance of the EU restarting their probes towards them with all the dark patterns they’ve been using to push people into Edge?

      If you use Solid works at work you’ll be welcome with More retarded ones like:

      Error occurred.
      An item in your assembly needs to be saved X 1000 consecutive windows saying the same thing even if you hit cancel or don’t show again.

      Solid works is phaking regarde…retarded.

    @herseycokguzelolacak Just like how clicking any web links (be it from the shitty widgets menu or from windows search) that open the browser, open as edge:// links which force opening on Microsoft Edge even if it’s not your default browser. This sucks but at least I can uninstall Edge easily from the settings (maybe because I am in the EU)

    Seriously considering switching to Linux lately!

    As opposed to silently changing your default browser?

    The problem obviously being that it is not the browser they want you too use, so they create “a problem”.

      They don’t even need to go that far. Windows has so many problems all the time, they just have to pick one and attribute this response to it.

        Why stop at just one? Someday soon I’m sure they’ll gleefully tell you that Windows couldn’t format your USB thumb drive, so they reset your browser.

          “Oops, couldn’t find that file! Better reset your browser. Actually I’ll just go ahead and turn Windows Recall back on, too. Better get your OneDrive trial started also, I know you wanted that…”
