I believe there was one a few years ago, but I think Microsoft patched it, and it’s reinstalled every Windows update. I’m pretty sure there was a manual command-line way to do it, but I’m not sure if they’ve patched that feature, yet.

Set another default browser (Firefox/Chrome/etc.)

Unpin Edge everywhere

Block EdgeUpdate tasks in Task Scheduler

Optionally use policy: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate

This avoids Windows updates quietly reinstalling or repairing Edge, which is common after feature updates.

That just tells you they know how awful iOS 26 is lol.

So cool that Apple stopped making iOS 18 updates for all devices above iPhone XR. /s Forcing users on 11/12/13/14/15/16/17 devices to choose either staying on the more stable 18.7.2 where they were comfortable, or the garbage can of iOS 26. They fixed the DarkSword issue on the XR and select iPads with a 18.8 patch, but refuse to release it for anyone still on 18.7.2, on any device that’s iOS 26 compatible.
