Startup Boost FAQ

Julie_Deng Personally I do not see the point of this feature. MS Edge starts up quickly and a few nanoseconds quicker makes no practical difference.

Others may disagree, but that's how I see it.

The problem I do see with it is that I get a pop up telling me that I had some windows open when Edge last shut down, despite the fact that I have closed all windows before I shut the pc down.

Whether Boost is enabled or not, If I have shut down all windows before powering the pc down, then Edge should not tell me there were windows still open. Any miniscule amount of time saved by Edge starting up in the background is completely dwarfed by having to read an incorrect pop up then close it.

If there were no windows open at shutdown, then to tell the user that there were, (even though if Boost is enabled and any windows open are those controlled by Boost and which are hidden from the user) is a bug and the Boost function is not working correctly and needs more design work.
