"Get the New Microsoft Edge" Popups
I am also having the same problem. I am a Google Chrome user. I am ok with having Edge installed but I want to be able to disable it cause I don't plan on using it. I've used Google chrome for years and know and Like how it works and don't plan on changing now I just want the pop up's to stop. I have it installed why won't it register? it keeps telling me to get the new Microsoft edge. It automatically got installed with the new update. Any idea how I get it to stop the pop up's tomscharbach

Katlin_Albert I'm at a loss about what to do, Katlin. I've tried various "workarounds" mentioned on message boards (e.g. this example from the Microsoft Community boards). None worked.
The fact that Windows 10 can't doesn't/can't recognize Microsoft's own browser is laughable. If the equivalent happened with a mainstream Linux distro, the support community would be up in arms and the issue would be fixed quickly.
Not so with Microsoft, apparently. Deleted reported this to the Marketing Team about six weeks ago (see earlier posts in this thread), the reported it again about month ago, but nothing has changed. I don't understand why Microsoft is so brick-headed, but I think that we are just going to have to wait until Microsoft gets its head out or a lawsuit in the US or in the European Union stops the marketing popups or forces Microsoft to tone it down.
