It does? I don't recall that happening.

It sneakily asks for Microsoft to select the most secure configuration for your system (or something similar)

Which means setting edge and bing as default

Today I was working on a 2019 server. I clicked on IE to download Firefox and it asked me if I wanted Edge. I didn't want to do anything that might interfere with existing services running, so I said no. I took a phone call, and when I came back ... welcome to Edge, I'm so fuckin great - let's get started!

I've been doing this since the 80s, but this was a surprisingly fresh experience for me.

I've never had that happen and I'm always keeping up to date with Windows updates

Probably you are not selecting the "recommended settings" in the welcome wizard after a feature update.

I also have never had another welcome wizard appear after any update. Only get that after a fresh install. I just update, reboot pc, and it just boots up as normal to desktop with nothing extra.

Perhaps it differs per region? I've had at least two together with the upgrade to Windows 11 here in Europe.
