Install MSEdgeRedirect to solve this problem.

I also recommend O&O Shut Up 10 and StartAllBack to disable ads/AI/bloat and restore removed Start menu functionality (like vertical taskbars). Also, always build the ISO in Rufus so you have the option to disable the Microsoft account requirement.

Alternatively you could* switch to Linux.

    Me: Why go through all that trouble, just install Linux

    I just finished migrating our last windows holdout in my house. Honestly very painless and while everyone is different we haven't had any regrets. Eol for Windows 10 was a fantastic bogeyman.

    What distribution did you migrate to? (Not trying to start a fight, I'd just like to switch myself)

    oh jeez lol I've never had a Linux fight. I picked kde neon because I love the ui and neon is bleeding edge for plasma updates. being based on Ubuntu which I was already familiar with sealed the deal. it's very comfortable for Windows users out of the box,and can be customised further into a visual clone of Windows 10/11. I've had a great time gaming on it, very little set up for amd.

    Glad I could help, if you're looking to try it out and have a spare usb lying around you can try a live version. That loads the OS into ram and allows you to try out the os. most(maybe all) linux distros have one. Fair warning it will be noticeably faster than everything due to running off ram. if you like it enough you can install it alongside Windows, then if you're completely sold you can use the live disk again to expand the Linux partition over Windows.

    https://neon.kde.org/download

    Here is the neon download page. It has instructions for making a live usb.

    ps. i may have also undersold kde, they also have a whole suite of neat applications they've made for their os

    They say that Stockholm syndrome is fake because of bad data. Windows is the proof that it's true.

    There is a possible version of windows that is good and that people want. It's a just a shame that Microsoft isn't interested it making it.

    As someone who grew up on windows, I'm willing to stay with it for as long as I can make it like that version. I don't want Mac, and Linux doesn't support enough (still, but maybe one day)
