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!

    Kevin, you should only answer questions after you read them. You start with a focus on 3rd party apps. You make people jump through hoops for nothing. You read nothing of what the problem was and sent out a template response. I hope someone replaces you with a robot so I can be less offended with your inadequate help. Don't worry though. The other processes I've found online also do nothing to solve the problem so you aren't alone. The difference between your answer and others is that your "solution" doesn't tackle the actual problem while others out there are at least trying to be on topic and make sense. I hope this criticism is taken constructively so you can provide real solutions in future. It does get frustrating trying to find a solution for problems, sifting through the nonsense answers. I come across your "help" and I know people are being helped to waste their time. The old reformat + reinstall "fix" doesn't fix programs installed with the OS. Reinstalling an OS is good against viruses, corrupt system files, etc. Hope this helps you to be more thoughtful when offering help to others. Causing more work for no reason isn't help.
