    Am I the only one who's really irritated by the fact that in the Edge browser, downloads start automatically as soon as you click on them and you no longer get asked whether to save or cancel? Gonna have to be super careful when the cat is about and "helping" me do stuff :rotfl:

    Talking about the Edge browser, Adobe flash player is turned on by default (it's in the advanced setting inside the browser) and also the flash setting in the control panel are set to allow sites to save information to the computer. I've changed all that of course ;)


    I have set my default web browser to Firefox and have got rid of Edge and also Flash - I am turning my Win 10 installation into a Win 7 lookalike !
    I discovered that Edge was downloading without permission on day 1...

    I do keep on finding that my mouse keeps on freezing - the only way that I can recover this is a reboot - anyone else found similar ?

    If cordless then possibly a driver issue. Goto maker website.

    It's a free upgrade if you already have windows.
    One last thing.... The "START" button is back.

    I quite like Edge other than the download thing; I've sent some feedback asking to please have an option added, so that people who do like immediate downloads can keep them and those who don't can change it. They probably won't take any notice but at least I've told them, rather than just whinge about it on a forum :p

    Edge is a work in progress and by no means the complete package. When it is able to use the Chrome/Firefox add ons it could be one to watch.

    Should have let it out of the RTM build then. Give something for the Insiders' to do;)
