They will all reinstall themselves with the next update
Not if it’s for legal compliance.
Oh, sorry. I meant to say “Haha, Windows sucks! Am I right guys? Updoots to the left!”
And Microsoft is known throughout the world as an honest company that follows the laws, complies with regulations and keeps it’s word.
I would say they are known for skirting the edge of the law, sometimes getting in trouble but usually not, or at least nothing serious. They don’t outright break it, and the software re-installing might not break it. Whatever happens, you can bet they’ll do the most anti-consumer thing they may be allowed to get away with.
This is why I keep updates disabled.
“Oh no, you’ll be at risk!” phhbt. Nonsense.
I’ve had zero issues from not being updated, but plenty from updates breaking stuff.
Even LTSC only gets updates 2x a year, so apparently even MS agrees.
And now they’ll market it as their own humbling idea.
Still I’m not going back to the Windows. Even if I do, Win11 wouldn’t be my choice.
I thought they said it was an integral part of the operating system and couldn’t be removed. Are you telling me that Microsoft lied?
to be fair you always could remove edge, it just legitimately broke a lot of windows apps
I can +1 this, a looong time ago I tried uninstalling Microsoft Edge and it made the system go ballistic. Every time I clicked a link, instead of going to my default browser (Chrome then) it would just open a completely broken Edge window with no functionality. Any time I tried to change settings, it’d do the same thing. Anything to do with touching the internet got fucked. I spent hours trying to reinstall Edge, contacting a Microsoft support person who was useless, before I realized that the official site only provides the Windows download for Edge if you set your user agent with… any system other than Windows. Huh.
Portip: set your locale to Ireland and dont give windows your WiFi password on install. Boom, you’re European.
