To work around this issue, you could download Firefox first and then with Firefox, download Chrome..

Or install an addblocker on Edge before visiting the Chrome download site.

I seriously don't understand why this would make sense. Also the occasional update screen before you can use Windows. Where you must click carefully through 5 screens trying to avoid installing Office Demo or set Edge as your standard browser and all that shi...

@SeriousToni Regarding the screen that appears after updates, the guaranteed fix is as follows:

• Open Windows Settings -> System -> Notifications & actions
• Uncheck these items:
  • Show me the Windows welcome experience after updates and occasionally when I sign in to highlight what's new and suggested
  • Suggest ways I can finish setting up my device to get the most out of Windows

As for the issue kano mentioned, I have a directory on separate drive that I keep all my installers is whenever it's time to install/reinstall Windows. Saves having to hunt down the individual installers and also avoids dealing with this sort of crap. I'm sure someone will mention Linux but I've evaluated it for many years and it's still not suitable for my purposes... yet.
