    Couple of quick sidenotes: 1) Sometimes regedit will not allow you to have 2 keys with same name. You will get the dreaded "The registry editor cannot rename "Key Name". Error while ranaming key" message (no, changing permissions will not help). Use 3rd party regedit like reg finder or reg kool. 2) MIcrosoft widgets (like news feeds, for example) are "hardcoded" to open links in MS Edge. If you disable it, you will not be able to open those links. There are 3rd party "solutions" to this like MSEdgeRedirect. But install those at your own risk. It can get messy.

    Blocking Microsoft Edge execution via registry edits "could" affect certain Windows components that depend on Edge.
    System Updates: Windows Update may rely on Edge components for certain update processes, potentially causing update failures.
    SmartScreen: SmartScreen, which uses Edge for filtering malicious content, might be impaired, reducing protection against unsafe websites and downloads.
    Features like Widgets in Windows 11 or apps embedding Edge WebView may stop functioning properly if Edge is blocked.
    You might want to test these for proper operation, but these are what come to mind.
    Edit: Blocking the registry editor may disallow users to restore or back up registry settings, which is essential for recovering from system issues or malware infections. I don't have the time to test this idea.

    Interestingly the checkout systems at my work actually have something like this in place to block the start menu from opening, so if you attempt to click the start button, nothing happens. Not quite sure how they did that but I'm guessing it's through a similar method as is shown in this video haha.
    Great video, Rich! This is actually ironic because it was only two days ago I was wondering how blocking programs from running could be accomplished within Windows and sure enough here you are with a video for it 😄

    • @SpaceCadet4Jesus
      @SpaceCadet4Jesus 22 часа назад

      The checkout systems at your workplace are blocking through Group Policy.
      Group Policy periodically refreshes its settings to ensure compliance.
      Interestingly, I have a spreadsheet that lists every Group Policy setting-essentially a catalog of all the ways you can configure the Windows operating system. It’s 4,500 rows long, showcasing just how customizable Windows truly is, even though most people aren’t aware of its full potential.

  • @mikehigham23
    @mikehigham23 2 дня назад +5

    Simplest - I've done it for years.
    Just rename whatever the program/app is, change (Rename) the EXE file extension to something else (any extension that isn't 'runnable')
    For example, to "kill" Notepad, find Notepad.exe and rename it, to be, say, "Notepad.exe.BLOCKED". Notepad will no longer run.
    This is better than just Deleting the file completely, as you can easily re-instate the program by renaming it again and knocking off the ".BLOCKED" bit of the extension.

    • @SpaceCadet4Jesus
      @SpaceCadet4Jesus 22 часа назад

      This led to the landmark antitrust case, United States v. Microsoft Corp., in the late 1990s. Ultimately, Microsoft was allowed to continue bundling IE but had to comply with certain regulations to promote fair competition.
      It wasn't the bundling that was the problem, it was the fact that they made it difficult if not impossible for other vendors to compete.
      That's not the case today with Edge.

    I just remove Edge by deleting the contents within the folders called "Microsoft" once those folders are empty, I encrypt them so they can't be rewritten to when there's an update. If you delete the parent folder, "Microsoft" it will be readded, but if you leave it there, but it is blocked, then Windows update can't screw with it. Might be a better option than screwing with the registry.

    That's why I use UVK ("Ultra-Virus-Killer") from carifred (free edition). No it's not malware, and I used it to disable the clipboard Win+V clipboard menu from showing up in turn for CopyQ, a program replacement that uses 5% of the ram of the windows clipboard menu in Windows 11. UVK is GUI so no registry editing required.
    It can block any program from running by permissions, but you should keep a list of those you disable, because not even you can edit/execute them without unblocking them. It can also block entire folders too.

    Hi, I tried the block of edge on Windows-10 Home 22H2.
    After the restart, maybe 30 seconds or so I get the Restriction alert.
    This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect…
    It will not allow me to close the alert popup, but it does go away after a delay.
    Since I only did the one entry, I can only assume Windows is trying to launch Edge as an unlisted background startup process.
    I removed the restriction and rebooted.
    After a full minute no alert popups.
    I checked “Services” and only three Edged services are listed and are “update” related and set to Manual.
    This is not a request to dig into it, just wanted to let you know of my experience.

    There is an option to modify registries using power shell. With the help of a few commands you can delete the registry that blocks regedit and start it again. Or if you are a little more familiar with scripts you can create two files enable and disable regedit and put them on a flash drive with which only you will be able to activate and modify the registries. I think that also through CMD or a bat file using " reg delete "HKLM\Some\Registry\Path" /f " by describing the path to the specific registry. But accordingly, you need to know the exact path. It is good to create this .bat file and save it before closing regedit.The command should be something like this but I haven't tested it.

    There appears to be a problem with all forms of windows activation even those purchased directly from Microsoft! If you mess with your system enough to have to reinstall its OS, or even simply change a piece of hardware! Eventually Microsoft will refuse to allow re-activation. This feels like a scam to most people who actually confront it! Gradually it turns into hating such treatment. I can't help getting a new version of Microsoft Windows when purchasing a new laptop or complete desktop system. Other than that continuing to pay outrageous prices for keys etc becomes insane, due to deactivation by Microsoft eventually, which is often fairly quick. Probably quicker now with A.I. in use.

    • @CyberCPU

      If Microsoft is deactivating your keys, it's because they're not legitimate or you messing around in those activations/keys areas.
      If you need cheap keys, then go to the sponsor of this video.
      Microsoft has reduced the necessary requirement for reactivation of the keys to a change of the motherboard.

    I actually kinda like using edge as my default browser for playing browser games like those Genshin Impact Web Events because for whatever reason they were really bad on Google Chrome but worked without any stutters on Edge. I have since switched to Firefox ever since Google Chrome blocked ad blockers and all the other extensions from working so maybe Firefox will work better than Chrome did for Browser Games but I pretty much just use Firefox for everything manually and leave Edge on default so I don't have to manually copy and paste the url to go from Chrome or Firefox to go to Edge to do the web events and stuff. It just makes it a simpler process for me.

    I find that when open file location takes you to a shortcut just do it again there on that shortcut. It should take you to wherever it is and not just annoyingly show you the shortcut. The thing that is annoying is that if you didn't know that you would think Microsoft was going out of their way to make things difficult by doing that. It would not be the first time something was done in a seemingly backward way in Windows after all, especially when you consider that they seem to hate letting you have Windows the way you want it to look. Evidence of that is the way they put click to show more in all of the menus. I have never seen anything so backward in my life!! I know you can hold shift to avoid that but you should not have to. I had an earlier build of Windows 11 and was able to see that there was a registry fix that worked to bring back normal menus and normal start menu. It looks like in their infinite stubbornness Microsloth disabled those fixes. Now with them wanting to add that Recall "feature" it becomes more and more obvious that it is time to ditch them! It is getting to a point that you can't have an offline account any more. I wonder if it is still possible on the latest Windows 11 build. I would not know since I stayed with Windows 10. Windows 11 is really just a crappy version of Windows 10 when you think about it. I think the only advantage is a newer DirectX.

      I'm not sure what you mean by an offline account.
      I'll assume you still want to go on the internet.
      In Windows 11, it's easy to create a local user account not tied to Microsoft in any way. I set up computers this way for people who don't have Microsoft accounts and who don't want it.
      If you're on Windows 10, and you can freely upgrade to Windows 11 anymore , it won't require you to create a Microsoft account. It doesn't pay to wait.

    While you were fidling around with regedit, I was thinking what if you show your viewers an easy method for deploying a home based little server where all the user accounts can be backed up, if any catastrophic event happens with grandmas computer and windows acc.! Only with the neccesities ADDS, DHCP, DNS and probably roaming profiles. I don't think the family members would be sitting more than one PC at a time. If that is an idea, it's all yours to make it. :P

    The only way to get rid of the spyware is to not use windows in the first place. Or have your windows pc as a gaming device only and use a cheap laptop with Linux for everything else. I have my pc only for games nowadays, I don’t use it for online purchases or to browse the internet. And if I use chrome is to look up for something concerning a game or download new drivers.

    "The simplest solution is to just use Edge, as Windows insists. Why do I say this? Because Edge was made based on Google's template; even their logo is the same, except for the color. Everything else is more or less the same. Avoiding all of this is usually the cause of problems, as well as avoiding a Microsoft account. Believe me, such small things can make navigating the system much easier in many ways."

      I was years ago when MS Edge came out going to use it as my main browser. Then I got pissed off with MS antics of trying to trick less savy people to use it as their main browser. Some people prefer Firefox, some people like Chrome. I prefer Brave which has its own built in ad blocker and will allow extensions that Chrome is complaining about to run without any nagging.
