Why is Edge doing this?

[QUOTE="Morro, post: 933132, member: 1765"] Okay, today I noticed something weird about Edge. I had just booted my computer this afternoon and after a while I thought ... hey lets run Wise Disk Cleaner since it was a while since I had done that. While WDC was scanning I got the warning that Microsoft Edge was running and if I wanted it to be shut down. I was like ... "What!?" I have not used Edge yet? Then in Process Explorer I saw that MSEdge was already started up some how during boot time of my PC, so I closed it and used WDC and then restarted my PC. Once boot up was finished I checked in Process Explorer again, and Edge was again already started during boot time? Edge also seems to stay active after I close Edge after browsing? Is this normal behaviour and if so how the hell can I stop it from auto starting during boot time, and I also want it to close completely when I close the browser, and not stay active!? [/QUOTE]
