Edge is opening EVERY TIME I REBOOT!

Insidiously it is absent from all STARTUP control systems so we CAN'T STOP it.

Does congressional investigations of unfair trade practices do nothing?

How can microsoft be so trumpianly abusive?

Hello, 

Edge version 97.0.1072.62 contains the fix and will be installed per your regular update policies over the next day or so. If you'd like to force the update immediately, you can head over to edge://settings/help in the address bar or Settings > About Microsoft Edge and trigger the update manually.

If you've made any registry edits or GPO changes as mitigation, you can revert those after the update!

    Edge is not shown as a startup option. This has been infected in to our computers by an update I'm sure because this came out of the blue. It's not the end of the world, but it makes me want to purposely never use Edge no matter what for anything in the future...just out of spite.

    Does not work.

    Edge continues to open regardless.

    Not one PC, all 21 computers at my office and home.

    Hear, here. If only Microsoft had ears to hear.

    Clearly, it is their choice to not solve this problem.

    The strategy is clear, people are far too lazy to fight back against domineering software.

    The masses will use Edge simply because it is always open on their desktop.

    That my friends is as sleazy as it comes.
