Will Microsoft PLEASE STOP RESETTING MY DEFAULT BROWSER TO EDGE
Every time they do it adds another year to the time I'm willing to give Edge a shot. At this point we're looking at the next glacial period.
The only thing keeping me from full time macOS are keyboard shortcuts and Visual Studio.

I have that set. And I've gone into the swamp that is settings for file types so when I double-click .html it opens !Edge.
And yet...

I've also noticed that even if you've got it working & using X browser for HTML etc, it doesn't matter when it is a Microsoft help (etc) link, it will still start up Edge -- which is also annoying because now to view Microsoft OS doc or help it starts yet another browser.
I've used Microsoft since Win 3.0 (before WFW) and I finally left the OS a couple years back because it got so annoying.
The only thing I miss is full Visual Studio -- (I use Visual Studio Code every day) -- but I don't miss VS much because the only thing you need it for really is Desktop Development -- and no one does Desktop WinForms apps any more, right (huge troll). 
When I have to do desktop dev I either RDP to a win box or start up the old win10 VM.

Thant stinks.
I know it is not an issue for my work machine or my machine at home, so it appears that Microsoft is being selective with whom they frustrate at the moment.  Not helpful, I know, but I am just glad it is not me at the moment.

Mine doesn't get reset, but ...
What annoys me is when they deliberately open Edge despite Chrome being my default browser. And Bong when I set "Google please".

Hmm, no option to uninstall edge. The next time it opens I am going linux and suffering that pain.
Your move, Microsoft.

But you can rename it (to keep it from starting).

Just don't accidentally hit F1
I'm constantly switching between two keyboards, one black and one white, and I keep hitting F1 instead of F2 on the black one. Up pops Edge every single time.

Mine doesn't get reset, but I'm getting pretty cheesed-off with the daily adverts for Microsoft's paid add-on services appearing in the already-paid-for version of the Outlook desktop client.

One word - virtual box. Install win7 in a VM and don't look back. That's how I'm doing it.

I've used VMWare and Parallels and every single time I find the experience of developing with Visual Studio in the VM to be beyond painful. I have a M1 mac mini that I'm hoping would work better, but from what I've read it's just as awful.
I live in perpetual hope.

I switched to using linux years ago for all personal machines.
Too many pushes of marketing-driven updates (like "Use Edge!" updates you describe, but in my case it was "Use IE"), other unwanted pushes.
Why did I keep needing to buy brand-new hardware because the new-and-improved version of their lates OS needed special care?
The last straw was a snafu at their end where they sent me veiled threats about using "unlicensed MS applications". They had been licensed and I had uninstalled them long prior.
True, there was a learning curve to get familiar with the variety of Linux OSs and Desktops. I keep my machine updated on my schedule.
The pain was worth the gain.
There was the joy of learning. It paid off in knowledge gained that - fun - and benefited my career as well!
Nevertheless, my spouse still uses M$, and I serve as tech support for that.
She sometimes uses my Linbox when her fairly new Win10 machine decides it wants to run updates unexpectedly, and more updates.
At work I use a Windows box, but everything** I use has a suitable Linux equivalent. I think the biggest reason I use Windows there is due to our heavy investment in Windows products/security/networking. I can't fault that at all.
But for development Linux (Or Macs, 'nixes, etc.) are just fine.

Were these from Microsoft or someone claiming to be from Microsoft? There are a lot of shady companies that claim to represent Microsoft for licensing and they will always find you need to purchase more licenses.
