Internet Explorer 11 and Edge Keep Opening Dozens of Tabs on My PC When I Try to Register Kofax PDF!

In their infinite wisdom, Kofax PDF's developers decided that users click the register now button in their software to open Internet Explorer 11 instead of what the default browser on a user's system is. IE 11's rendering engine is still buried deep in Windows 10, even though it officially is not supported anymore. When you (or a program you know) open IE 11, Microsoft Edge goes crazy to inform you that IE 11 sucks and unsupported and that MS Edge is the way of the future (or something like that). Somehow, I ended up with this tab-nado where IE 11 was trying to prove its worth and Edge tried to convince me otherwise resulting in dozens of run-away tabs. Only a full restart fixed my system. Congratulations to Kofax and Microsoft for allowing this to happen :)
