This has been happening for several weeks, already, in my experience.

Microsoft... the rapist company. First they forcibly update your computer to Windows 10 without permission when you sleep.
Now they do this.

They aren’t real big on consent apparently.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Why can't Microsoft just stick with what works?

Windows XP is the greatest OS in home computing history. IE is a great browser.

Just keep the mofos and do updates on them instead of getting rid of them or letting Chrome eat IE lunch.

Windows 10 Update Puts Edge Over I.E.... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

[KevinB]

FF FTW.

Microsoft’s defacto way to destroy their presence in the browser market and hand the whole thing to Chrome and Firefox.

MS does not realize just how much Edge, which does not behave properly in a windowed envirinment, is hated.

The only people who will use it will be server maintenance techs who must.

87? Still waiting for Edge to catch up to Windows 95?

[umgud]

MS needs to be broken up. I don’t use edge... I hate it. I’m really going to be pissed if it’s forced on me.

I had to get a new puter, my windows 98 machine finally gave up the ghost after 23 years.....I got a pretty good deal with the AAFEES veterans intro offer but the damn machine came with Windows 10 and it keeps downloading that edge shite.... hate it and windows 10..

buy a Mac

[SuperLuminal]

No problem... Uninstall both of them...

[grame]

This has been happening to me for a while. Kept having to reset default, especially on having Adobe to open pdf’s.

[arthurus]

Any more i use Brave and f a site won’t open in Brave I say, oh well, I probably don’t need that site. I have refused to use IE since shortly after I was exposed o it and realized that it was seriously screwed up it acted more as a computer virus than as anything useful.. Until I was able to excise I from my drive. I won’t use its follow-up either.

[mrsmith]

My idea...

Sell an operating system that does what a person wants. Pay for it by allowing the os to use a small fraction of unused computing power to mine bitcoin for the company.
Bound to be better that what we have now.

[rockrr]

I’ve thwarted crap like this before by creating a counterfeit DLL. When the OS makes the call the dummy DLL fails to complete the request. It may work.....and it may not ;’}

[libh8er]

For techie types, IE does not support the JavaScript fetch API which is the modern standard for making ajax calls, so some sites will not load properly in IE.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Microsoft won’t do anything on my Linux Mint computer, forcibly or otherwise.

[LegendHasIt]

"The DLL file, named ie_to_edge_bho.dll, is a Browser Helper Object (BHO)"

That's what they want you to believe... It is actually for Barack Hussein 0bama.
