How do I stop Edge from automatically opening on start up? Windows 10 Pro 64 20H2

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!

I have given this workaround before. I use it and it works perfectly.

I drag the corner of the Edge Window from the bottom left to the top right making the window as small as possible, then ignore it. Every time it reopens, it just adds another unopened tab to the stack and it remains out of sight, out of mind.

This stupid overreach by microsoft is microsoft at it's worst.

There is no excuse for this kind of slimey policy.

Thankfully, it is neatly folded behind everything I'm doing - out of sight - out of mind.
