Deleted I hate to state the obvious, but can't Microsoft's own tools help here to trace up the process tree to find out which process is starting msedge.exe?
1) Autoruns by SysInternals might show what is autostarting it?
2) Failing that, can't you use SysInternal's Process Explorer to see what the parent process of msedge is, and trace through that what process started it (going up the process tree)? (Or Process Hacker or other similar tools)?
3) Alternatively Process Monitor and/or SysMon by SysInternals can be configured to monitor processes starting up, and that can of course be setup to run during boot etc. to catch an early process launch?
