Update: I have upgraded to a 2021 MacBook Pro 14" running macOS 12.1 and Edge 96.0.1054.62. It is a new computer with a clean-install OS, nothing copied from my old computer. I'm having exactly the same problem as before. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/YMs0sFz.png

I have 2021 MacBook Pro 14" running 97.0.1072.69 (ARM64 build) and also have this issue. I can close all windows (Edge process still running) and it takes 100% cpu. Force-Quit will fully close app and resolve the issue. Really annoying as it drains battery and reduces overall battery life by 20%. I have to routinely close all my edge windows to make sure i'm not draining things unecessarily.
