Is your computer slow? Microsoft Edge might be the culprit! 💻

Even when you close it, Microsoft Edge often continues running in the background, consuming valuable RAM, CPU resources, and draining your battery. This can make your entire system feel sluggish.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we show you two simple and effective methods to stop Microsoft Edge from running in the background permanently. We'll show you how to disable Edge's background processes and prevent Edge from consuming resources when it's closed.

The two methods in this video:

Method 1 (Edge Settings): We'll dive into the "System and Performance" settings in Edge to turn OFF "Startup boost" and the main "Continue running background extensions and apps" toggle.

Method 2 (Windows Settings): We'll show you how to stop Microsoft Edge from launching on startup using the "Startup Apps" menu, which will help speed up your boot time and keep your RAM free.

Watch to the end to reclaim your PC's performance and fix Edge's high memory usage!
