CTOnews.com November 22 news, according to the German science and technology media deskmodder reported that after installing the latest update, Win10 and Win11 users of Release Preview channel can manually uninstall Microsoft Edge, turn off web search, activate Copilot, and so on.

CTOnews.com reported on the 17th of this month that in order to meet the relevant provisions of the Digital Market Law, Microsoft has adjusted its Win11 system for users in the European Economic area (EEA). Users can uninstall most pre-installed applications, such as Edge and Bing, and disable recommendation and advertising content.

However, Microsoft has included the relevant parameters by default in its recent update to Release Preview channel users, but it is not enabled by default.

Win11 users need to install KB5032288, while Win10 users need to install KB5032278, and cautious users can wait until Microsoft releases optional updates at the end of this month or cumulative updates in December.
