It doesn’t matter if Chrome or something else has been your default for years, Microsoft deletes that preferences and instead uses that prompt as another way to try and get you onto Edge. As soon as you’ve updated and this whole process has finished, you’ll get a prompt at some point asking you about your default browser. Perhaps the most annoying and blatantly obnoxious thing Microsoft does here is erase your default browser setting. It does all of this with absolutely no warning, and more annoyingly, no obvious way to stop it.Īdding to it all, Microsoft also pins Edge to your taskbar (in the first slot too!) after this startup process as well as dropping the icon on your desktop. It goes through a basic setup, prompts you to import your data from another browser - and does so in the background without asking. Seconds after logging in, though, a full-screen pop-up takes over your device to “introduce” you to the new Microsoft Edge. A normal Windows update is downloaded by your device, and upon a reboot, everything looks as normal. That rollout has really gone full steam ahead in the past several days, and users are not happy with what happens after the update. Microsoft started rolling out Edge to all Windows users a couple of weeks ago. However, in the past few weeks, there have been some negative aspects of Microsoft Edge revealed, and the one people are the most frustrated with is how it takes over their entire computer upon startup.
When it first launched, Microsoft’s Chromium-based Edge browser seemed like an excellent alternative to Chrome that millions could enjoy.
