I recently bought a Windows laptop for gaming (the only reason to still get one imo). The first thing I installed was a network inspection tool and proceeded to spend the next 3 hours trying to get back some control of my computer by:
* Blocking network access for many processes (Windows Defender Smart Screen, GamingServices, Search etc). The latter sends all your search queries to bing
* Fiddling with telemetry & privacy settings
After uninstalling Edge I still find places where functionality is broken because the OS doesn't respect the default browser setting.
* Uninstalling tons of crap (Xbox Live, Edge, McAfee, Cortana etc)
* Blocking network access for many processes (Windows Defender Smart Screen, GamingServices, Search etc). The latter sends all your search queries to bing
