Edge is slow to close
When I click on the red "X" to close Edge it takes a long time now. Works fast with IE and regular Edge. Version 84.0.495.2 (Official build) dev (64-bit) is slow. Ron

After a bit of trial and error, I figured it out.
Settings - Privacy and Services - Choose what to clear every time you close the browser. If I enable "Cookies and other site data" it takes a long time for Edge to close.

I have the same problem, but nothing is selected to be cleared when shutting down. I also vaguely remember Edge being faster to close in the past, but don't know when it started taking so long. So now I generally just leave the browser open until it tells me there an update waiting and I have to close it.
