EEA Edge Removal

Open rcmaehl opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Looks like there's currently 2 "valid" ways to remove Edge outside the EEA.

  1. Adding the current region code to IntegratedServicesRegionPolicySet.json

  2. Setting the current region to "AT", "BE", "BG", "CH", "CY", "CZ", "DE", "DK", "EE", "ES", "FI", "FR", "GF", "GP", "GR", "HR", "HU", "IE", "IS", "IT", "LI", "LT", "LU", "LV", "MT", "MQ", "NL", "NO", "PL", "PT", "RE", "RO", "SE", "SI", "SK", or "YT"

I'm yet to test this EEA enforced QoL! Knowing microsoft, they will add artificial breaking in other areas to discourage the change..

I can confirm Edge Removal works with Method 2. I have not yet tested Method 1, but I expect Method 1 to be "rolled back" every few Windows Updates.
