After I apply Windows security patches and reboot, the machine starts Edge automatically, full-screen, and doesn't allow me to close it. I have to kill the process in Task Manager. How many ordinary users know how to do this? This has happened multiple times on multiple machines. People say if you don't pay for the product, you are the product. Well I paid for Windows, and still get this user-hostile treatment. It's fucking outrageous. How can anyone complain about Google's monopoly while Microsoft gets away with shit like this?
