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!

    So far, this works!!!   Thank you!   We shall see tomorrow (sometimes popups can be daily) but... never would have thought to look in there for startup items.

    yes, well this sort of **** is exactly what stopped me from "upgrading" to windows 10, too much way too hard to customise, too much bloatware that can not be uninstalled or controlled, all setting reset after updates (do they really wonder why so many users would refuse updates when it would cost a few hours resetting everything again???) the famous compulsory update that would after about 1 hour refuse to install, but was unskipable, cost me more than 1 week to try to convert then sadly after almost going out of business had to revert back to win7, now this ****. why why why not give an option of load all the **** at startup that many users really don't use EVERY TIME and why why does a new tab have sooooooo much garbage to load when the only reason I can think of for a new tab is to search for something??????

    By all means when you have worked out people use computers for different reasons other than being flooded with advertising and **** clickbait headlines and really need the option of not having to put up with it all, and you can do updates without changing all my personalised settings and giving me options of what I want to startup then let me know!!!!!!!

    Microsoft is begging for a competitive OS, not bloated with obnoxious self serving crud.

    It seems like Linux is poised to do just that!!!!
