Windows Defender Application Guard extension installed on Edge Version 78.0.254.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit). Windows 10 build 18965.1005.
the extension keeps Edge browser running in the background:
and even though this option is selected:
when I close the Edge and reopen it, it brings back all my open tabs again. so If i close the Edge window with 10 tabs open, once I launch Edge I still have my 10 tabs.
the option to open a new tab on start up is not taking effect.

Hi @HotCakeX - I've experienced this as well with the same tabs reloading at startup. I found that closing the Microsoft Edge window doesn’t quit the browser fully and Microsoft Edge will continue to run in the background. Whether this happens, or not, depends on the applications and extensions you have installed in Microsoft Edge. Some apps and extension can “ask” the browser to stay awake to continue to function, for example, notifications of new e-mail messages, or to keep a chat alive.
On that note, there is a Setting in Microsoft Edge that can stop it from running in the background ' "Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed". I believe this is enabled by default.
This will be under Settings, then System.
You can re-enable by toggling of course. Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
DarrenMH

Solution@HotCakeX Thanx for your feedback. However, Application Guard is natively supported in the new MS Edge on your Windows build. There is no need to install the extension. We are investigating about the next steps for the extension.
