    The comments are weird. How often do you even see this? I feel like I remember it once and hit don’t switch and thats it. Not sure why you keep getting it, but I also don’t use edge so maybe that is why. I would imagine if there is a way to stop it it’s in settings somewhere or possibly a local group policy maybe.

      I saw this exact popup yesterday, I remember seeing something similar to it before but it has been quite a while. The thing is, this single popup broke my computer entirely, I was playing a game and it jumped in front of the game, immediately stole the games inputs and I couldn’t even pause it. Then clicking don’t switch did absolutely nothing and the popup remained there, and any attempt to forcefully close the popup failed. Also, I was streaming at the time to my tv, and attempting to use any system related screen is blocked (and this popup counts as a system settings screen!), So it just crashed the entire thing while I was trying to dismiss or close it. I was stuck and couldn’t even reboot, had to hold the button and lose any progress I had in the game.

      So yeah, I would be very interested in not letting this happen again as well.

        Now that is a crazy story and can understand being really annoyed if that happened! I definitely have had my share of wtf moments on Windows as well so I get it.
