The big downside is that Edge will now be using precious RAM even when it’s not running. So your Windows system will now boot even slower (and MS isn’t exactly a star with their slow Windows 10 boot times, as compared to a more efficient OS like Linux).īut that’s not the biggest downside of this nonsense. Startup boosters are for programmers who don’t know how to program efficiently or effectively.Īll they are doing is time shifting the slow loading of Edge (which is mostly just the sluggish Chrome reboxed) to boot time instead of when you actually run the app. Those who don't use Microsoft's web browser actively, may want to disable Startup Boost as it offers no value and may add to the startup time of the system (not by much, but still).ĭuring the Beta period, Startup Boost was only enabled on devices with Edge as the default browser, and only if these devices had more than 4 Gigabytes of RAM, or more than 1 Gigabyte of RAM if a modern hard disk was installed. Not a new concept, but Microsoft notes that it will give the opening of Microsoft Edge on sign-in of a user or after closing the browser completely a significant boost.Įdge users benefit from the feature, especially since it does not cost a lot of resources according to Microsoft. Basically, what the feature does is load core Microsoft Edge processes in the background on system start. Startup Boost aims to speed up the launch of the Microsoft Edge web browser on Windows devices. We reviewed the feature when it was introduced in Microsoft Edge Canary back in October 2020. Open the Start menu and select Settings.The next Microsoft Edge update will introduce a new feature that is called Startup Boost. Windows 11 and 10 feature the ability to automatically reload various stock apps-including Microsoft Edge-after a system restart. Stop Windows From Restarting Apps Automatically Exit Windows PowerShell or Terminal and restart your computer.
REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\TabPreloader /v AllowTabPreloading /t REG_DWORD /d 0ģ.REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main /v AllowPrelaunch /t REG_DWORD /d 0.Run the following commands one after the other: Right-click the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin).Ģ. Instead of using the Registry Editor (regedit), the most convenient way is to run a couple of commands via Windows PowerShell or Terminal.ġ. If you use the Home edition of Windows 10/11, you can modify the system registry to prevent Microsoft Edge from pre-loading at computer startup. Disable Edge Preloading via Windows Terminal
