To disable Microsoft Edge, you may prevent its automatic start-up on your Windows computer. To do that, use the following steps: Go to Settings and click Apps > Startup. If Microsoft Edge is on the list, disable it. Alternatively, launch Task Manager, select the Startup tab, and disable Microsoft Edge here. If the program remains running in the background, open Microsoft Edge settings and switch off the options "Startup boost" and "Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed."
