microsoft edge starts automatically

How can I stop Microsoft edge from starting up when I sign in on waking up the Computer? When I log into the computer and wakes it up, Microsoft Edge starts automatically. How can I stop this?

Solution 1:

Unfortunately in 2022, the above method does not work... My current workaround is to run this bat on start:

timeout 1
taskkill /f /im msedge.exe

It will wait 1 second (or need to adjust to give time for Windows to complete the startup) and then kill edge.

To avoid showing the cmd dialog in a flash, either add this to taskschd.msc, or use a less perfect way but simpler to set property of this bat to run in minified screen.
