Microsoft Edge is misbehaving.

Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

    Why do I need IE compatibility? I use Firefox. Why is the XBox app in the start menu? This is a work PC. The 3D folder (and Videos, Music, etc) just takes space in the File Explorer. I’d be fine if it created it when I save a file there, but until then I don’t want to see it

      If you don’t need it, then disable the feature.

      Why is the XBox app in the start menu?

      For the same reason ther is a “Games” menu in most Linux distros. If you don’t need it, unpin it.

      The 3D folder (and Videos, Music, etc) just takes space in the File Explorer

      Same thing, if you don’t need them, unpin them.

      I’d be fine if it created it when I save a file there, but until then I don’t want to see it

      …how would you save a file there, if they didn’t exist to save your file there in the first place?

      (BTW, I don’t have a “3D Folder” on Win 11 🤷)
