    I did a fresh install on a family member’s PC yesterday. Tried to change the region in the registry so I could uninstall Edge and it wouldn’t let me. I assume this is related.

    But I also dual-booted Linux so they could try it at any time 🙃

      Careful with that. Microsoft loves to periodically push updates that overwrite the boot sector to disable that dual boot configuration.

        Difference is I don’t profit off of installing Linux. Just encouraging other people to help themselves.
