I noticed MS force-installed Skype onto everyone’s computers halfway through the pandemic and added it to the started-up program list on boot. I really thought that they’d have learned their lesson with IE.

Skype in not installed on my Surface Book, so not sure about everyone.

edit: I have some fairly strict settings on my laptop, so maybe that stopped it. I also have Office365 so that could be related too.
