Microsoft is now using a Windows driver to prevent users from changing the Windows 10 and Windows 11 default browser manually or through software.

      “Won’t happen. Can’t flood. Hey does anybody else hear water?”

      I genuinely can’t tell if this was intentional but its hilarious either way.

          Has anyone else noticed that MS switched their search engine? I have never heard of that. Sounds like a bug or something.

              What would you bet that it will never happen?

                  I’d honestly take that. Uh, is there a remind function? If I assume this will be here and I’ll have an account in ten years?
