Exactly. Or if extensions are also allowed to run in the background.Do you have Startup Boost enabled? It keeps the browser running in the background to speed up Edge's launch.
Check edge://settings/system (copy & paste in the address bar) and see if it's enabled. If so, that's your culprit. If not, I couldn't tell you.
Brilliant, it was Startup Boost, I thought I had that option turned off some time ago, so either I'm mistaken or an update turned it back on. Thanks.Do you have Startup Boost enabled? It keeps the browser running in the background to speed up Edge's launch.

Same here.I don't notice any slowdown opening Edge with this setting and "Continue running background extensions and..." disabled. Nice
Never, but I guess that it is either related to adguard or to search, which can run as a desktop process.Anyone else have Edge still running in the background after its been closed?
rem 1 - Allow the Search bar at Windows startup
reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "SearchbarIsEnabledOnStartup" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
rem 1 - The Sidebar appears in a fixed position on the Microsoft Windows desktop, and is hidden from the browser application frame
reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge" /v "StandaloneHubsSidebarEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f
Yes, the same thing with me. I stopped using it because of this and a few other issues.Anyone else have Edge still running in the background after its been closed? Startup boost and continue running background extensions are both disabled.View attachment 279423
I just checked on 2 Windows 11 notebooks, and the process did stop after I closed out of Edge.Anyone else have Edge still running in the background after its been closed? Startup boost and continue running background extensions are both disabled.View attachment 279423
Indeed, the not deleting cookies on close is still a major one. WTF is up with MS?Yes, the same thing with me. I stopped using it because of this and a few other issues.
