Although the new Windows 10 does not have Internet Explorer as a base to open any document or web application, the truth is that many users still do not like Microsoft Edge. And even if they use other browsers, Microsoft Edge still has the same evils as Internet Explorer: always appears bothering with some file.
So that this does not happen we can always change the extensions of the files and programs that run them or opt for the fastest solution that goes through block Microsoft Edge completely and let the other browsers do their job.
Edge Blocker is the easiest way to block Microsoft Edge
Blocking Microsoft Edge is easier than it sounds thanks to a simple program called Edge Blocker It does what its name says: lock Microsoft Edge. Edge Blocker we can get it through this link. This will download a zip package that we have to unzip and then execute the .exe file that you have. Once we have executed the program, a window like the following one will appear:
This window is simple, we have two buttons that are used to lock and unlock Microsoft Edge. To know if we have Microsoft Edge unlocked or not, we will have to look at the circle that surrounds Microsoft's E, if it is blue it is unlocked and if it is red, it is locked. Despite all this, if we still have doubts, we just have to open a web page or a pdf file and see if it really opens or not. If Microsoft Edge skips, the browser is unlocked but if it does not jump, Microsoft Edge is locked. It is simple and easy to do.
In any case it seems that Edge Blocker is the simplest and cheapest solution to block Microsoft Edge without having to make big changes in Windows 10 or simply without abandoning Windows 10, even though the latest laws that Microsoft had to adapt to are being bypassed. Hopefully in future updates we will not need to use Edge Blocker or have to change operating systems.
