Announcement

1 of 2 Europe Modes have been added! The current method sets your PC region as "in EU" and should be a permanent patch. I have verified that this method lets you uninstall Edge, but I have not verified other features. The second method to be added later requires taking ownership and modifying a System32 file to tell the system whatever region you're in is part of the EU. This yet to be added method will likely be reverted every few Windows Updates but should at least work temporarily.

Europe Mode adds the following features after reboot:

Edge is uninstallable
User can disable web search
Narrator scripting extensions are enabled
File Explorer Search is third party extensible
Third party search providers show in search
Third party search highlight content
