Known Issue – Microsoft Edge Launching on Startup
Deleted Have you rule out the users enabling "Restart Apps" under "Sign-in options"? because it sounds exactly like someone enabled the option hence Edge restart itself when you login to Windows. I actually had the opposite of the problem. I had the option enabled but it doesn't restart edge every single time, only 3-4 times out of 10.
megablue I have the same problem: Edge doesn't always launch automatically. In my case, I have multiple instances of Edge Canary running at the same time - the windows are distributed across two monitors. Once, two windows normally side by side were relaunched one on top of the other. Another time, Edge Canary had not restarted automatically after a reboot. When I launched Edge, I got only one instance with a message telling me that Edge had not shut down properly and asking me if I wanted to restore those instances.
NicolSD i found the fix, disallow Edge from keeping the background process solved the issues for me. Even on Chromium/Chrome, the background process kind of not working reliably. It frequently treats the background process as last closed window hence forgetting the tabs that were opened when you closed your main browsing window or in this case, windows think it wasn't "running" when you shutdown because the background process were ended last. hence, when it reopens during a restart, it reopens only the background process.
