Uninstall edge and use a browser that is actually secure and will NOT do things behind your back.

Two utilities you need, CCleaner and WinAeroTweaker. They're both easy to use.

https://www.ccleaner.com/ccleaner/builds
Grab the portable version at the bottom of the page.

As you can see, I've already done cleaning. Showing you this so you know where to look for the uninstaller section of the utility. Please note: Even though there is still an entry for Edge, there is no icon and the app is properly uninstalled. This is microsoft insisting Edge be your primary browser.

Winaero Tweaker

Winaero Tweaker is a free app for all versions of Windows that lets you adjust (i.e. tweak) hidden secret settings that Microsoft does not let you adjust

If check all of those options, most of the behind-the-back nonsense should end.
You should explore this utility much further as it's options are very useful for roping Windows in and customizing your Windows experience!

I guess I'm late to the party, I have Edge, but don't use it much, should I delete it?

Well... I don't see why one should really bc it barely waste space unless you don't like it wanting to update ever so often like other browsers...

"Uninstall edge and use a browser that is actually secure and will NOT do things behind your back."

I guess if this is true, this might be a good reason.

Hey a friend sent me this. Has it been released?

Yeah, on Oct 5th.

I had no plans in changing. Just curious

If you've got a spare drive, give it a try. You might like it.

Yes. It runs in the background whether you want it too or not. Use CCleaner portable(linked above) to uninstall it.

Jetster · Oct 30, 2021

I'm forced to use Edge at work, got use to it so now I like it

Just get a newer BT adaptor (If internal, get a wifi/BT combo?)

The standards have updated so much, and there was a good 5 years where MS didnt support BT without third party drivers - and those drivers were SHIT (they cost money)

Sounds like something uninstalling/reinstalling chipset drivers might fix... just a guess.

Really feels like W11 is applying generic CPU drivers to anything not alder lake, doesnt it?

AMD drivers patch it, then you change a CPU and it forgets to re-patch...

Kind of, yeah. I wonder if that is deliberate or if it's the Windows kernel running home to mommy(so to speak)?

Windows 11 also floods folders with empty TMP directory garbage

Hmm.. called a Backup for WiN10 unless you'd go back and to my guess those folders Aren't empty "Go to view hidden files" unless they are probably empty just my guess

Hows Win 11 been for those of you with Ryzen systems? I know a bunch of updates have come from Microsoft and AMD fixing the L3 cache problem.

I haven't noticed a difference. The bug effects were catastrophic only for benchmarks. Gaming and everyday applications suffered rather little for me

Chomiq · Nov 1, 2021

M$ just started b*tching about "You're ready to Update to W11, come on now" in the taskbar with the blue windows update icon.

Problem free, i could barely see a change (~10FPS) in breakpoint, when the L3 cache bug was at its worst
Then, when it was fixed i can reboot between 10 and 11 and not see a difference

Could have invested into a nice chime sound to pump up the ad, I don't know, maybe Start me up from Rolling Stones :laugh:

I installed W11 through windows update for shits and giggles. Was all smooth, except the snip and sketch tool broke lol

Ah, that kinda fucked my screenshot flow lol

I got used to doing everything with PicPick, but since Windows 11 that tool is kinda broken.

Well I guess that's the giggle I asked for. Thankfully I don't need to do screenshots too often. There is a thread on Microsoft tech community with hundreds of posts asking for a hotfix, so I'll wait for that
