Edge Chromium

Despite my best efforts to avoid and then to uninstall Edge Chromium, MS forced it onto my PC again last night.

Was trying to run a System Restore to a point set earlier yesterday, but it froze so I had to force power off. When I turned the PC on, it was unexpectedly "installing updates".

When I got back to the desktop, a popup said the Restore failed and there was an Edge Chromium icon on my desktop, again.  Don't know if the two issues are related...

Tried using the exact same PowerShell command I used previously to remove EC, but this time the command was "not recognized". So I guess MS decided to block that approach.

Fortunately, Revo Uninstaller (free) was allowed to remove EC this time, even though it couldn't do it last time.  So now it should be easier to remove EC, if it's not wanted/needed, assuming MS doesn't block Revo again.

And then a web page opened asking why I uninstalled EC. Hope they're wearing flame-proof shorts in Redmond when they read my response..!!
