    Mhm. Shit people don’t want continues to be integrated into required system applications so you cannot remove/avoid it.

    Seen it comming since the integration of Edge into Windows and how it’s forcibly re-installed everytime you try to remove it. Hell; even the corporate work PCs I use, which lock you out of every non-corporate supplied application such as wordpad, calculator and even the ability to see (not even modify, just view) the desktop background: failed to disable Edge (their default is Chrome). You can right click files > open with > Edge (none of the other applications listed work in any other circumstances, just edge and chrome).

    Windows is dead.

      Yes.

      But this is also because your system administrators are incompetent.

      There are myriad other ways to accomplish the same thing, but this is easily rolled out via Group Policy.

        Given the way everything else is successfully disabled; something tells me they either did that and it’s just not working properly for Edge, or that flag got reset by some MS update that nobody asked for and it’s just not been noticed by IT yet.
