I recently discovered that Microsoft Edge starts up at boot up.
How can I stop it from doing so, and stealing valuable processing
cycles - for doing nothing?


The easiest way is to stop using Windows 10 and start using
something that is more junk than Windows 10.

I use Edge and I love it. My default browser is Microsoft Edge.
I also keep Firefox on my machine as sometimes I need to load web
pages that I develop to test it for compliance over the board.

Microsoft Edge is alright but just about every browser is a lot more
compatible with pages than it is.

I like IE much better after my go to browsers.


You must be the one person on Earth who prefers Internet Explorer over
anything.

Still, I admire your loyalty to Microsoft.


You just you made me feel bad and wrecked my day because I still use
Internet Explorer. I bet you are really going to get on me when you realize
I am posting from Outlook Espress. Running these on Windows 10 Pro :-).


I'd be using Firefox but swore off of their products when it was
revealed that they donated to a group associated with Antifa. Chrome
would also be interesting but it's Google and they love spying on
their users. As such, I stick to Vivaldi simply because it is neither
and unlike Edge, it's actually pretty good.

I think Thunderbird is a great program, but I use Forte Agent for
Usenet instead. Again, it's all about principle and I'll gladly use an
inferior product if it means that an organization I can't stand can't
claim me as a user in their statistics.
