Oppossed to me who somehow forgot Copilot is a thing :) Should have realized that.
I have it simply disabled in settings so it does not show up. Maybe it is not completely disabled and some parts of it are still running amd would need to apply policy to disable it, but can't say it bothers me much.
Are we talking about this feature? If yes, you must simply ask company / school in which that computer is assigned to to remove it from their Autopilot list.
Try to create PWA and forget about ever opening Edge. It of course will still run in background, but maybe this will feel better.
Changing region probably would be enough and no reset / reinstall is necessary, but we will see.
Doubt your IP location matters because if I am from EU and I travel to USA, MS should guarantee same compliance to EU laws.
It is, specifically MS Edge WebView. For example new MS Teams and new Outlook client are using WebView. Widgets are using it as well as do many other things.
This uninstall will most likely still keep Edge present, it will just be somehow hidden / not as easily accessible.
I am pretty sure simply setting region should do the trick.
What do you mean. Autopilot is an enterprise feature. If you bypass Autopilot you are either circumventing your organization's policy or you bought a computer that was not removed from org properly.
For me speed increase is pretty significant. Testing with Ookla's Speedtest I get around 60-100 Mbps download with 4G and around 300 - 500 for 5G so sometimes it's faster that my Wi-Fi which usually is around 300 - 400.
Realistically though I do not feel this difference, 4G seems enough. Do not see significant difference in battery life as well. In the past I think 5G did eat more battery where I am so I stayed on 4G for a long time before trying 5G again.
Their maps are pretty bad, there are better alternatives although it can depend on your region. Navigation and POI search wise though they still seem the best to me.
Switch to Edge would make sense due to how well it integrates with things like your Entra ID account, choosing Chrome now is bizarre. We also had Chrome as primary browser for years, but now we are pushing Edge as primary browser. Firefox was and still is an option for us as well.
It's couple words that could have been said by anyone with nice voice and good diction. I'm probably not such person, but if you would pick 100 random people, you would get someone who could do a good job for this kind of quick announcement.
Most internal employees would even do this for free. One time payment of 200 eur seems fair.
Sounds like a weird behavior, are you using Microsoft account for sign-in? Maybe that somehow triggers enabling sync back. Switch to local account if you do not want any benefits MS account gives.
That OneDrive feature is called Known Folder Move and it can be easily disabled. In theory it's a great feature for most, but I dislike it as well.
I have OneDrive disabled and have never seen it restart automatically.
