This update has been pulled, according to the Engineering Manager of Edge Continuous Shipping.
Somehow, even though I updated ~15 minutes ago, I still got the update. Will there be an bugfix for current 76.0.167.0 users or do we need to uninstall ..167.. and install the new dev build once it releases?

@David Rubino None of my computers are updating at this point. After reading the thread, it sounds like that might be a feature, not a bug. I'm assuming that the Edge team has put a hold on updating pending resolution of the "won't restart" issue. Is that correct?

Just a reminder that next Dev build is chosen from weekly pull of Canary builds. So one can install Canary build and enjoy more new features. Those are all alpha builds anyway coming up and down.

@David Rubino I just grabbed 76.0.168.0. You guys have been doing a great job with this. I'm happy to report bugs I've submitted have been fixed. Have a great weekend.

76.0.67.1 is working!
I can't comment on the automatic update.

EDIT: It has fixed itself! After a few hours and a reboot, I'm now getting proper 2-3% CPU usage when Edge is unfocused.
Original post:
Unfortunately, I am still getting high CPU usage when Edge is idle (i.e., unfocused)
Five identical tabs (YouTube, this forum, Edge Insider home page, browser search engine, and Slickdeals.net homepage) + unfocused state + 60 second test:
Edge has constant 2x to 3x higher CPU usage across 6 cores, even on this latest version 76.0.167.1. This higher CPU usage translates to a higher CPU boost frequency, which translates to higher temperatures, which translates to louder fans.
I've sent this via the Smiley, too. I hope MS can get this CPU usage back down to levels before the 76.0.159.0 Dev build's CPU over-usage.

@ikjadoon Interesting. The idle usage for me is down to 0%, when before it was above 0. I wonder why that is.

It seems a different issue compare to High CPU Usage when Edge is focused with no external tabs open. In fact, it may be closer to a new feature request to make Edge completely silent when unfocused, including no disk session maintenance, despite Chrome is not really silent when unfocused with several heavy tabs open. I agree this would be a notable step forward compare to Chrome if possible.
With regards to referral to previous Edge releases, I suspect they had a lot less action going on behind the scene, i.e. much less newly enabled code. Can you open a new thread on this, so other users can join?

Absolutely no prob here, came with latest Win10 Insider update. Very good work MSFT.
May 24 2019 11:52 AM
Thank you both for the replies. Great news: I've tested it again now twice this afternoon, with the exact same tabs, and Edge C is now back down to 2-3% consistently, just like Chrome!
I'd tested twice this morning, too, with both tests nearly identical. Perhaps I missed something this morning or there was some "freshly updated rejiggering": but, I'm happy to say it's now back to normal.
If it happens again and I can reproduce it, I'll be sure to make a separate thread to gather more input.
