with maintaining Firefox as the preferred browser but each time Edge was installed I went to Programs in Control panel and uninstalled them.

In Win 7 I have to select any update to install it so when Edge showed up there I just hid the damned
update. In Win 10 we can't do that but we can shut off all updates for a selected period of time.
That's what I'm doing there. So far so good.
