How to Stop Edge from Opening Automatically When I Boot Up Computer

MS has no excuse for this obnoxious behavior.

The solution is SIMPLE and effective!

Keep MS Bing/Edge open as a minimized box out of the way.

The Maximize/Restore Down toggle, can be kept in Restore Down and the corners carried to the minimum size - about 1" x 4". This amounts surrendering of a portion of the screen in exchange for not having to see ANY Bing/Edge noise pumped onto the page and not having to take the time or thought to close it. I don't even see it anymore, out of sight, out of mind, just a white rectangle in the corner.

Let me know if this helps you. Cheers!

Thank you for this solution. Think I'm on board with the lawsuit suggested earlier. Stay out of my PC Microsoft. !

Maybe you don't realize you don't own the OS, just a license allowing you to use it.

Cheers,

Drew

For those still looking for a permanent solution to this issue. Try the registry edit about halfway down on this page. Stop Edge from Loading at Start

Take back OWNERSHIP of your OS, and let me know when the class action suit starts so I can send in my +1. There's a reason it a "personal computer", personalize as you see fit, don't allow Microsoft to dictate what your allowed to see and use.

I followed this, and when I got to "Restart apps," it was already off, so Edge continues to launch at startup. This is getting really frustrating.
