You weren't supposed to touch Edge. It is an integral part of Windows. Is Windows Update working for you?

No, Edge is not a integral part of Windows...
I1ve regularly uninstalling it on my computers using Revo Unistaller, without any problems, for years..
Must be another problem...
@Rock44 : Don´t you have some restore points to retrograde your computer?

A very long time ago, when I tried Edge it was full of Google Ads. I searched the net and found a way to stop Edge from reinstalling. I also used Revo. I always use Revo to trace a program being installed. Much quicker and cleaner to uninstall a traced program.

I was just browsing and came across this post. Uninstallers don't uninstall Microsoft dubbed "Integral" to a Windows installation. The best they are able to do disable the programs visual presence or at least disable the GUI and all to other Windows functions, it's still ticking in the background. The fact is tho, the core code must remain and it could be rejuvenated, sometimes during an otherwise harmless looking but essential Windows update. This includes my most favorite Windows snooping program that's training CoPilot, camouflaged as an anti-virus, Defender.
In fact that's where the vast majority of any of these new A.I programs resources are consumed.
Answering queries is a piece of cake compared to scraping all Internet sources to gain the "knowledge" to answer queries.
That's why it's difficult if not impossible to install guardrails into these programs. They just sort and process huge amounts of data in order to develop the constantly morphing database. Working in an ultra-secure environment lately, users are constantly warned not to disclose any proprietary info. Once an AI get a hold of that data it is distributed by default to all AI databases as they are waiting to scrape it up, hopefully correctly. This goes for any personal data you may disclose in public forum and even "private" chats. Remember that data is like that explicit photo that somehow ends up being displayed to the public. Once it's out, you can't put that toothpaste back into the tube.
