Windows 10 Update and Microsoft Edge

[ameerat42]

Today Win10 installed last night's update.

On startup, I was presented with an opened new MS Edge browser screen, which I couldn't shake without making
making some setting changes. - How intrusive! I chose the blandest I could, including ABSOLUTELY NOT
making it the default browser!.

So, if you don't want it, don't be put off by the ploy hiding as an update

When I finally got to the desktop and tried the new Edge, the screen below appeared, in (Simplified) Chinese, and
showing the Baidu home page, which is misdirected to say the least

(After this I'm running a few malware scans )

I got it too. Took me about 2-3 minutes to go through the process and it asked me if I wanted to import my firefox settings, said no, asked me if I wanted to swap to edge as the default browser, I said no. When done I opened firefox and kept going in my usual way. Have not had anything pop-up or related to edge since.

My laptop seems to be working just as it did before this process.

Yep, I told it where to go too , but what a "choice" of Home Page for a MSoft product

...Almost...
I managed to display a home page button earlier on, set to Google Oz.
New tabs open with still some Chinese text and a "Microsoft" home page,
which can be fixed (if you feel the need) with a click on the HmPg button.

What I still get and need to keep -ing to fix...

I did not even look. I closed down the windows as they opened.
