In what way is it “integrated”? Please, I’d love to know.

Their other apps use it or part of it in the background.

Kind of like old Windows apps always used Explorer when they needed a browser

I wouldn’t be surprised if the start menu was using Edge for their search/ads

You’re telling me, that Windows now shows ads in the start menu?

Sorry, it’s probably a stupid question, but i haven’t used windows since XP.

Most are in your system notifications but you’ll have “suggested apps” in the start menu for easy one-click installs

When you try to log out you’ll see ads for OneDrive and Office 365 apparently

There’s this

Microsoft Edge is integrated with File Explorer in Windows 10 through a feature called “Pick up where you left off”. This feature allows users to resume their browsing session from Microsoft Edge directly within File Explorer.
