Hi everyone, I wanted to let you know we decided to temporarily disable startup boost since it was causing a frustrating issue for some users (see updated FAQ above). Thank you for all of your feedback about this feature. You can still manually turn on startup boost by going to edge://settings/system. I’ll update you when we believe the issue has been resolved. We appreciate your patience and understanding!

    Hi all, we have resolved the issue where some users saw the browser reopening on exit and/or showing a message about reopening tabs. Thank you to our insiders for reporting this issue!

    I don't want to be "outrageous", but I know the Edge team really listens carefully when you give feedback, so I want to put it bluntly: "Secretly" changing browser settings without informing the user is an absolute no-go. 

    This is something you can do within the insider channels, but not in the stable version. It's a question of trust, and trust is essential for a browser.

    To be clear again, I am saying this as a "friend".

      But you are being outrageous. That's ok because that is a valid point. And may I add to this that there should be two options to choose from after relaunching the browser from an update that include this feature. This way it will be impervious to the whinny click happy individuals that like to click "yes" to everything.
