Nope, absolutely not, never, ever, ever see Edge. Never
makes an appearance. You can set your browser to whatever
you want. Just because Edge comes with W-10 doesn't mean
it can't be disabled.

You misunderstood what I wrote. if a program has html instead of
it's own actual executable code to render the graphical user
interface, EDGE will render it for the program, without
identifying itself as edge. It won't look like a web browser to
you at all. It'll look like the programs authors intended for
their GUI to look, instead.

Windows 10, despite your efforts to 'disable' it also uses Edge
to render some of the screens you see when you actually use the
OS itself. It's one of the reasons you can't actually remove it.
Windows 10 itself, uses it. You can elect not to surf the web
with it, but, you can't really stop Windows 10 and some apps from
using it to render their own GUIs.

Just like win9x, etc etc etc used IE to render some of it's own
screens, without appearing to look anything like IE while doing
so.

Am I explaining what I meant better?



I just ran into an example of what Diesel is talking about. I
went to print out a PDF file on a Win 10 system and it brought up
a screen that I've seen before, hated, thought was difficult to
use, but I never paid that much attention to it. This time, I
realized it is in fact Edge, that it uses to view/print PDF files.
I figured out how to change it, so that now it used Adobe Acrobat
instead. But it is an example of how with the default settings,
Edge is being used for things you would not expect. And it really
sucks, because on the version of Edge that it brings up to view
PDF, you can't even easily find where to print.

So, that's an example of where I'm not using Edge for a browser,
yet Win 10 default is to use it to view PDF.

Yep. But hey, atleast you can change that one.

As I told another poster, I'm not here to mislead anyone or 'brag'
about the things I know. As one individual once told me, "it's not
bragging if you can back it up" Many people these days can
'build' a computer, load Windows, even load drivers without much/any
hand holding. However...Not many people actually understand the inner
workings, or the relationships between various pieces of code as it
relates to other pieces of code, or the hardware they just assembled.

IOW, There's 'techs' and then theres Techs...
