centerose.blogg.se - Edge chromium

My desktop PC is a few years old but has Windows 10 Enterprise, 16GB RAM and a decent SSD installed so Microsoft Edge has automatically enabled the feature for me.

An SSD or similar “modern disk” is detected.

Microsoft Edge is configured as the default browser.

Reading around the topic and running some tests a few things to note: On exit of the browser a new set of msedge.exe core processes are launched waiting for the next use of the browser. When Microsoft Edge loads the processes are flipped over and the already running ones are used and brought out of windowless mode. Without going into too much detail the msedge.exe process is launched with the –no-startup-window parameter which essentially launches msedge.exe core processes in a windowless mode.

When the feature is enabled there is a new entry in Startup to launch Microsoft Edge:ĭisabling the feature also removes the Startup item. It can be configured via the Settings > System option as shown here: Essentially this feature allows Microsoft Edge to launch itself at logon for users automatically and when Microsoft Edge exits it respawns itself waiting for it to be launched again making the startup faster. In task manager I see 5 msedge.exe processes:Īt the time of writing I am using the Microsoft Edge 89.0.774.0 build, however this behaviour is a result of a change in Microsoft Edge 88 onwards which introduces a feature called “Startup Boost”. I still have Google Chrome installed for personal email and other purposes, but Edge is now my default browser for work.Įarlier this week I noticed that there were a number of Microsoft Edge (msedge.exe) processes running even though my browser was closed so I wanted to dig a little deeper into why this was. I’ve been using the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) browser as my default browser on my main work PC for a little over a year now and have to say it works pretty well for me.
