I've got Edge killed on my laptop.

How do you do that? Remove it? Disable it?


I'm curious as well since Edge cannot be removed from the PC without
deleting crucial files associated with the operating system.


When I took the free Windows 10 upgrade it came with that annoying
Edge browser and it wanted to default to it constantly. Finally
Norton asked if I'd like to disable it permanently? YES!!

There are some discussion sites that will walk you through disabling
it. I do not see it in my start-up menu nor programs installed on
my laptop. All I know is I NEVER see it or get a pop-up wanting to
start Edge and haven't seen it in a year and a half.

I'm a happy camper.

Ahh, ok. I also disabled mine but I was under the impression you deleted
it based on your comment.

Thanks

You can default your browser to anyone you want. I use Firefox.
Also under Win10 you can go back to last IE, I think 11. I had to do it
to use script at remote site I connect to.

So you think it's gone then?

Oh, I suspect you have, without knowing it was edge....*sigh*

I'm a happy camper.

Ignorance is bliss so some tell me. Sometimes, I do wish I could be
like them. I really do. I might be surprised more often.

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're being arrogant so you should be blissfully happy.

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?

Although my post can certainly seem that way, I'm not actually being
arrogant in it. I was trying to explain something in a way which
clearly didn't make sense to you. For that, I do apologize.

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...

Hey Joann, you're wrong again. Diesel is correct. Hahahhahhahhaaaa!
