I just spent more than an hour fixing this shit, everyone was right. It forced search bar on LTSC also. Which I thought was against Windows 10 LTSC policies for Enterprise editions? Or at least, against it's very core functions? lol

My question is how is at running Adobe products now?
Oh yeah it does this shit to me every time. You can go remove it again though follow this:

Ebay abuses sellers then wonders why they leave to Amazon. Buyers don't always fare great either but they are generally treated better than sellers. Factor in the random ban threads and general outsourced customer service stupidity with people who will never solve your issues, it was worth leaving.
Except they don't. They get demonetization from literally breathing from Google who treats them like shit, so it's best to donate to their patreons anyway.
Yeah, I know. Linux. If it's working with all games and programs now, then that sounds good to me.
Plus CNN is a ginormous piece of shit now purchased by a Trump supporter
I wanna make the jump to Linux. I worry about it but maybe there's a good video tutorial somewhere on it.
Windows itself is malware
If you have no choice but to use Windows download Microsoft 10 LTSC iot, lock down all policies and use Shutup10 and WPD to remove all telemetry. Blackbird can also block specific Windows 10 addresses that phone home but it's better to just get a third party firewall and block them because Blackbird can sometimes break things.
I also was able to remove Microsoft EDGE forever using this. Follow the steps exactly:
https://gist.github.com/ave9858/c3451d9f452389ac7607c99d45edecc6#file-uninstalledge-ps1
If an update you want forces edge back then just follow the steps again. If Edge "remnants" remain, use bulk crap uninstaller on any leftovers.
I've never had the search bar return or anything I didn't want to return on a locked down Windows 10 LTSC installation except Edge, and that's easy to remove. You can even turn off updates for a while if you want to, but I still update because you should.
If you have hardware that needs Windows 11, they're releasing an LTSC version of that, too soon.
Yeah use this, follow the directions:
https://gist.github.com/ave9858/c3451d9f452389ac7607c99d45edecc6
Then clean up remnants with Bulk Crap Uninstaller. https://www.bcuninstaller.com/
If it still persists as a last ditch resort, use: https://github.com/ShadowWhisperer/Remove-MS-Edge
^This finally did it for me. The latest update didn't allow my uninstall value key to uninstall it, but his stuff force uninstalled it finally.
