How do I disable automatic updates and remove hidden add-ons from starting with the browser?

I have seen some instructions for disabling those Utilities on reddit, qoura, ... They have also instructions that go to "Edge Flags" to disable them. But when I visit "Edge Flags", there aren't any flags as they describe.
I would love to disable them, they use a lot of RAM and increase with the time I open and use the browser.if you disable them, you won't be able to use the browser properly, if at all.
how much RAM do you have? they use standard amount of RAM. Edge uses less RAM than Firefox and Chrome.
P.S Windows 7 supported ended months ago. Windows 10 is better in every aspect, such as RAM optimization.
still, all of these steps (disabling Edge auto update, removing essential necessary components of the browser etc) is not the solution. the main solution is that if your PC/laptop doesn't have the necessary hardware requirements, you need to upgrade them.

- Looks like the browser has just updated to a new version. Is the "Disable automatic updates" feature in the settings not appearing? Still have to use the policy file? So bad?!
