MicrosoftStart Microsoft Edge quickly with startup boost
Note: We are in the process of releasing this feature, so it may be a little while before you see it in your respective channel and build.

Good feature, but it introduces a problem: an app like CCleaner which can be used to clear select cookies now always complains that Edge is still running, and then fails to close Edge. It took me a while to realize that this is caused by Startup Boost. Is this issue something that CCleaner can fix on their own, or is this something that will require changes by both the Edge team and CCleaner?
ChromeRefugee why even using CCleaner it's the worst
- It's great to be able to clear selective cookies. You can whitelist login cookies from sites that you trust, and then with one click clear all other cookies. And while at it you can clear the browser cache, but that you can already do inside Edge. I don't use any of the other features, but the selective cookie clearing is useful.
- CCleaner It's not worst, People use this software incorrectly. Big Difference!
Wyjaśni dlaczego ludzie według ciebie nie potrafią korzystać z CCleaner ?
Ja myślę że CCleaner jest mi nie potrzebny i na pewno bierze zasoby !
Good morning, I haven't had CCleaner for many years because Windows 10 has excellent disk cleanup tools! Edge is so carefully prepared to make settings that it clears files and files in the cache - according to the user's settings! It requires manual settings - but it works reliably and doesn't affect the functionality of the new Edge! In my opinion, Windows 10 does not require any additional tools! Edge's extensive settings allow for many individual settings - giving maximum user satisfaction and really working very well!
I recommend New Edge. Thank you very much "- Translating that from Polish I get

To which I say: yes, you can clear history and cookies in Edge, but it purges ALL cookies at once, meaning the next time you visit e.g. a forum, you'll have to log in again. CCleaner allows you to whitelist cookies for your favorite sites, while purging all others. IMO this is a great feature that I'd love to see implemented in Edge. Until then, I'll keep using CCleaner, but ATM that requires that I disable Startup Boost, close Edge, run CCleaner, start Edge, and re-enable Startup Boost. Not the end of the world, but it would be nice if this wasn't necessary.ChromeRefugee "... you can clear history and cookies in Edge, but it purges ALL cookies at once [...] CCleaner allows you to whitelist cookies for your favorite sites, while purging all others"
In Edge:
- Menu ("...") > Settings > Privacy, search, and services > "Choose what to clear every time you close the browser"
- Turn "Cookies and other site data" on
- In the "Do not clear" list, add sites you don't want cookies to get deleted for
For example, for this site, you could add [*.]techcommunity.microsoft.com to the list; or if you use lots of Microsoft sites, add [*.]microsoft.com instead
To see which cookies are in-use for a site (and so which you might need to add) click the padlock icon to the left of the website address, then click "Cookies" at the bottom
