MicrosoftStartup Boost FAQ
EDIT: We have an updated version of this FAQ over on the support site now. Head over the Get help with startup boost page to review the latest information about startup boost, including how to submit...
Julie_Deng I just did a fresh install of Windows 10 20H2 and I think this is what I'm seeing -- about 6 msedge.exe processes stay alive in the background and don't go away, after I close all browser tabs.
I do have Edge version 88.
But I don't see any setting in edge://settings/system to turn this feature off?
Also I regularly get the popup prompt to "Restore previous tabs" whenever I start the browser .. even when I know I closed everything beforehand.
Any tips for investigating this further?
- Update: Some wonderfully nice and smart folks at MS reached out to me.. apparently there was a small bug preventing the Startup Boost setting from appearing -- it's all squared away now. Now I have the checkbox in edge://settings/system, and it behaves fully as expected. (What amazingly quick turnaround time! This is not the same MS I remember from 10 years ago.) Keep up the great work, MS!

you can try disabling "continue running...." but at your own RISK.
it might cause problems for you, for you sync data, extension data, extension sync data etc.
don't worry about some Edge processes in task manager, they are normal, normal behavior of Chromium engine.
