edge keeps running in background regardless of settings
First of all, yes, I have already disabled 'speed boost' and turned off the setting that allows extensions and apps to continue running after closing edge, and still when I look at the running tasks ...
I have the same issue, did Microsoft not do anything about it yet?
- no I have not seen or heard any response from them and it is still an issue in the latest version; I have to repeatedly use the task-manager and kill it to remove the stored credentials
- and to update this, I have recently added a DWORD registry entry named StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled=0 under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge and this *seems* to have the desired effect of stopping the garbage from running in the background
but really, even if this works, what kind of nonsensical sh!t is this to have to do just to get an application to actually exit when you terminate it...
