Can I get KB5079473 and keep it? I prefer those free apps which are pushed down your throat to have no internet access. As I don't have rights to remove at least Edge without completely removing Windows.

It's not a good clean way but if you get all your files off the system and reformat installing version N (intended for EU) then you get much less bloat and tracking by default and you also are allowed to kill edge,

Thanks, whish you came with that advice when MS force installed 11.

Now I feel it's not worth the hassle, as the next time I'm going to reinstall my OS it's going to be Linux instead.
