I just had to disable this on all my Windows 10 PCs as it was causing Edge to immediately restart every time it was closed. I am guessing this is not the expected behaviour. I have noticed no real difference in startup time.. not sure why I would need this and prefer to not have things running that don't need to be.

Yes, same here for me. It took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Closing the Edge browser results in it immediately opening back up again to my default starting page. Once I turned off Startup Boost, things went back to normal.

Thank you for reporting this. Is the browser visible when it restarts or are you seeing background processes in Task Manager?- Mark PenneyMar 12, 2021Copper ContributorFully visible and working browser just as if I had started it myself.
