Microsoft Edge ignores user wishes, slurps tabs from Chrome without permission
I use this: https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect and am very satisfied.

Internet Explorer is Evil: The Story (2010)
> Maybe I'm nuts, but the start menu's web search results seem to ignore default browser settings and only open in Edge
You’re correct on that, Microsoft created a new link type ‘microsoft-edge:’, so that no matter what browser you use. Query’s from the search bar always get sent to Edge. They pulled a very similar move with Outlook where it now opens all links in edge, instead of in the users default browser. But for now, you can still toggle that setting back.
If you want windows searches to open in your default browser, you have to use https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
- default links open edge
- Windows 11 will respect default browser for system apps in the European Union

Oh fuck off. The reason doesn't even make sense.

Outlook now ignores Windows' Default Browser and opens links in Edge by default
https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect
That should fix it, right?
I use it for quite a long time now and it works with the search bar in the startmenu.

How do I uninstall Microsoft Edge?
I recommend using MSEdgeRedirect. https://github.com/rcmaehl/MSEdgeRedirect Edge will still be installed, but it'll never be used and even the Windows Edge links will redirect to your preferred browser. It works very well.

Coming back from Edge after Microsoft shifted focus
Bonus points if you use MSEdgeRedirect to completely circumvent Edge systemwide

No mercy wth 💀
For those of you that want to get rid of Edge once and for all, download MsEdgeRedirect

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone
I've been very happy happy with https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu as a Start Menu replacement. If ads have rolled out to my Windows install, I wouldn't even notice.

Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS
Whenever I set up a new computer for older family members, despite it being windows 11, I always install open shell[1] and retro bar[2]. Between the two, I've made the operating system look very close to Windows XP visually, and they always appreciate it.

Window Manager / DWM replacement?
There's Open-Shell but it's not exactly a full WM replacement.

I turned the Windows start icon into Elysia's signet!
Hi yall, I used Open-Shell to change the icon.

How do I remove the recommended thing in the start menu, or add more space for pinned apps?
There is also Open Shell, a free and open source tool which performs a similar function.

What is a piece of software that you need but doesn't exist?
I wish so bad there is a port (a fork) of the Legacy Kickoff start menu for Windows: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/issues/1083

Ask HN: How do you “clean” Windows from all bloatware?
I use Open Shell (fork of Classic Shell) as a replacement to original Start Menu. This gives me full control over what appears in start menu - no results from internet, animated tiles, etc (I am on Win 10 though, from what I read the Win 11 is supported, but not yet officially [1]). It could be a solution to the ads appearing in start menu.

I missed the old windows so i tried to recreate it
Looks like you're going for an XP theme. May I suggest using open-shell to skin the taskbar, start menu, and start button if you wanna take that extra step? You can also find the taskbar skin and start button here. Also, I would remove the search bar, task view button, and news & interest area of the taskbar just to bring things together. This is all just a suggestion, you don't have to if you don't want to.
What are some alternatives?
