Edge 97 starting automatically at logon
With the systems in my enterprise updating to Edge 97, all of those that have updated are now automatically launching Edge at logon. A scheduled task seems to be initiating this. I'm assuming th...
I have not seen that option yet on any systems I've personally looked at. FYI, I've researched and tried all of the available options which are available (boost, continue running background...., the restart apps in User Account settings, etc.) Many GPO settings tried also. We are predominately Windows 10 21H2, but have a few other versions of 10. Only a couple at 11 so far in our domain. All versions are afflicted. All running Enterprise version. About 800 machines. We're a school district and many teachers are remote, we're a mess already, definitely don't need this. Although it's harmless, it's confusing to some as to what is going on..

MicrosoftOh absolutely, it's especially confusing for folks that don't have Edge as their default browser and we're aware of that too. The team is working on a code change for this that should go out with the next update, and I've shared this thread with them as well as other feedback we're getting.
- Are there any time-lines that we can expect a fix for this? Any kiosk machine at e.g. a hospital will be affected once they choose to update if there's no solution in place to block edge from starting on these kind of machines. Customers using software that uses the shell key to start a custom shell (Ivanti Workspace Control, Liquidware Profile Unity, Thinkiosk, Citrix desktop Lock) are affected if they allow this version to be installed.

Thank you all so much for the reports and confirmations on this.
Hi! Thank you for acknowledging this issue. We are considering implementing the workaround as mentioned above, but we would prefer to wait for Microsoft to formally fix this behavior if the wait isn't too far away. Can you please provide an ETA on when we could expect to see your update with a firm timeline and version number?
Thanks!

- We also get a edge browser while logging in.
