Windows 10: Why on Earth do I have to use Edge if I only want Messenger?

Edge comes with Messenger with install to Windows and no way of avoiding opening links etc in Edge.I have decided to throw the messenger out of my PC because of that. Microsoft and Meta are masters of the bad user experience :

Hi Cassandra,

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

Google Earth Pro... for who?

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In order to help you with the appropriate troubleshooting steps, please reply with the following details:

• When you say, “I found the Chrome version too limiting, so I downloaded a copy” Did you download a copy of Google Chrome or download Google Earth?
  
• What happens when you try to move the Earth?
  
• Do you get any error message/code?
  

However, I suggest you to refer the section Stop Earth from spinning
from the article
Fix Google Earth errors provided by Google and instead of unchecking put a check mark for the option Enable Controller.



For any installation related issues with Google Earth, please refer the article

Install & uninstall Google Earth Pro.



For versions of Google Earth, you can refer the link

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
