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!

    me too i've been through half a dozen fixes recommended by earnest MS representatives and NOTHING WORKS. Done with Microsoft, will buy other OS products from now on.

    I am not sure if this will work

    Please open edge and navigate to

    edge://settings/system by clicking on the three dots

    then

    select system

    If it is turned on then turn off that

    Then try if the problem occurs

    Waiting for ur reply

    Thanks for your suggestion, but startup boost was already off.

    It's become clear to me and many others that Microsoft intends Edge autostart to be permanent, outside the control of the user.
