The fact that there are only seven allowed backgrounds for this piece of software makes me feel like I’m in China or North Korea. First, it’s 2022, don’t pick my background for me. And now in to do the Fatal flaw has two parts. In “mail” it was that for the first three years it was out you couldn’t send or receive attachments. Microsoft free apps always seem to have a fatal flaw. The way it DOES work is that now I have to add a bunch of extra steps to do what literally ANY OTHER reminder app does by DEFAULT.
The way this SHOULD work is that you enter what you need to get done and it automatically populates into My Day where you can work on subtasks as necessary. Offer up as many services and features as you like, but give the people who don't want them an easy way to get them out of the way.I’m sorry, but “My Day doesn’t auto populate to let you pick what you want to accomplish” is nonsense. Hopefully, as Bing Chat access widens, Microsoft will add a setting or a flag to Edge to just turn it off if you don't want it. Who knows, but those people shouldn't be forced to edit the Registry (with potential risk) to make it go away. Maybe they use Google search, maybe they just want a clean taskbar. Having Bing front and center isn't necessarily a bad thing, after all, Google Chrome defaults to pushing Google services.īut there are people out there who are happy to use Edge but don't want this in their browser. There are certainly plenty of other browsers you could use if you don't want any part of it.
Microsoft wants you to use Edge and it wants you to use Bing and Bing Chat. Windows Central take: Requiring a Registry edit to remove is the wrong thing to do You'll now be able to use the Edge browser without the Bing Chat button enabled. Naturally, if you're using the beta or dev channel versions, then swap the stable part of the command for your relevant version. microsoft-edge-stable -disable-features=msEdgeSidebarV2 If you're on Linux, enter this command into your terminal. open -n -a "Microsoft Edge" -args -disable-features=msEdgeSidebarV2 If you're using Mac, enter this command into your terminal. On both platforms, you can use the terminal to launch Edge and just not have the Bing button enabled. If you use Microsoft Edge on Mac or Linux, the process of not using the Bing Button is simpler.
