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!

    KOH_089's solution actually works.

    Another that works is going to 

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application

    look for msedge.exe rename to msedge.exe.bak this of course disables Edge altogether. Just rename back to msedge.exe if you ever want to use Edge

    After scrolling through many pages of proposed solutions and trying several, "completing the settings..." as you describe is the one that finally worked. Thank you so much!
