Start Microsoft Edge quickly with startup boost

Andrew_Nolan I've also turned off startup boost because of surprisingly high resource use when Edge is closed. Obviously, this means I lose the speed benefit of startup boost altogether. 

My main challenge is Edge's resource load when trying to use other resource-intensive applications--I need my RAM and clock cycles back. (16 GB RAM and an i7-9xxx CPU should be sufficient for web browsing and other mainstream applications, especially when Edge is minimized; and definitely for less-than-workstation-class applications when it's closed.)

I'm not sure if there's room for a "medium" setting (or a way to enable/disable Startup Boost's Edge processes for a given session without resorting to changing all-or-nothing Settings or using the Task Manager):

1. Engages startup boost on first launch of the day and/or when waking from sleep (conflicted about the latter). For me, first boot up easy--I shut down at the end of each day.

I'm not sure how one would define "first launch" since time of day varies (possibly on-device ML for that user?), and some people wake from sleep vs. starting up from Shut Down... and where do Restarts fit into this?

Then there's what all of this does to overall Windows start up time, another sensitive metric (especially if you need a quick launch while trying to run out the door if you've forgotten something after shutting down your system or putting it to sleep). Although you've likely already factored the impact on overall Windows start up in with the current Startup Boost.

2. Do something based on last-open tabs in the front-most window. This relates to other feature discussions about sleeping tabs/windows, and I don't understand the current default behavior; but if a "medium" Startup Boost setting focused more on windows/tabs (also possibly using on-device ML for that user's workflows) than persistent resource-hungry background processes to speed returning to last state.

Edge seems to attempt such a "pick up where you left off" behavior, but it's currently a hit-or-miss proposition (even in the current Live version on Windows) regarding which windows reopen on relaunch and how they're sized & arranged--and if minimized windows come back at all. I'm not sure if a "medium" Startup Boost setting would help or hurt that or the overall start up / restart/relaunch experience.
