Microsoft's Compliance with Digital Markets Act (DMA)
Microsoft has announced updates to its Windows operating system to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which regulates large digital platforms. These changes include the ability for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) to uninstall Microsoft Edge, the Microsoft Store, and to control the default browser settings more effectively.
Effective from Thu, May 29, 2025, with Edge version 137.0.3296.52, Microsoft allows the following:
Users can uninstall the Microsoft Store. Applications installed via the Store will continue to receive updates, and the Store can be reinstalled when desired. Microsoft Edge will no longer prompt users to set it as the default browser unless opened directly. Web content in the Widgets Board, lock screen, and Bing app will open with the default browser set by the user.
Microsoft has expanded the default browser settings. Users can now set additional link types and file types to open with their chosen default browser in the EEA:
Link Types: ftp, http, https, read File Types: .htm, .html, .mht, .mhtml, .shtml, .svg, .xht, .xhtml, .xml
These settings are in beta testing and will be available commercially in July 2025 for Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Microsoft has announced updates to its Windows operating system to comply with the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which regulates large digital platforms.
In the EEA, third-party applications can now provide web search results within Windows Search. The updates include:
Automatic activation of web search providers upon application installation. Improved user experience with multiple search providers. Customization options for prioritizing search providers in settings.
These enhancements are already available to Windows Insider users and will be deployed in commercial versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 from early June.
Users in the EEA can now uninstall the Microsoft Store while ensuring that applications continue to receive updates. The Store can be reinstalled as needed.
Applications distributed via the Microsoft Store's web installer will continue to function when the Store is uninstalled.
Additional changes to Microsoft's applications in the EEA include:
The Microsoft Bing app will open web content with the default browser. The Start Experiences app will do the same for widget and lock screen content. Microsoft Edge will not prompt users to set it as default unless opened directly. After uninstalling Edge, other Microsoft applications will not prompt for reinstallation, except for PWAs distributed via the Store using Edge technology.
These updates are part of Microsoft's broader strategy to comply with the DMA and provide users with greater control over their software experience.
