I have this problem also, on multiple devices. On all devices:
- Speed boost is disabled
- Tabs are set to not sync
- On startup is set to open a new tab
Is there any additional place to tell the browser not to restore pages/tabs?
(So far this is the only thing in new Edge that is seriously tempting me to return to Chrome... slowly driving me crazy.)

I have not experimented with taskkill, but that seems to be a way to close a program from the command line.- AaBluSep 03, 2021Copper ContributorI'm not using shut down.exe. Just regular shutdowns from the start menu. But this really shouldn't matter. If Edge can't be closed in a normal Windows way without causing this irrelevant pop up, it's a bug and ought to be fixed.
Meanwhile if there's a registry hack or something that will make it go away I'd be happy to know.
