Julie_Deng Thanks for adding this feature. However, it's not for me. I started having issues with my gaming system lagging and CPU fan running at higher speeds. Online gaming was a PITA due to excessive lagging. Tried everything to find the culprit and it turned out to be the CPU processes running higher than normal. Found multiple instances of Edge running in the background and when I turned off Startup Boost, everything returned to normal. I haven't noticed any difference in performance when this feature was enabled/disabled. Only that it took an impact on my CPU which caused my games to lag horribly. It may very well work for others but, I have to disable it for now.
