[Windows 10, Microsoft Edge Cache Database - please make it stop!]

Just installed Windows 10. Microsoft Edge stinks, so I continue using Chrome, using IE11 for a backup.

 

I run CCleaner regularly, usually more than once a day. Disregarding the notion of whether I ought to be running it that often, I write to complain of the message I get (see screen grab attached) that the Microsoft Edge Cache Database must be closed for CCleaner to run.

 

Since I'm not even using Edge, I am left to wonder why its cache database is running. I would like to disable the stupid thing, but haven't found a way, as yet. I'm perfectly comfortable making changes in group policy, the registry, etc., as may be necessary to accomplish my goal.

 

Your perspectives and observations will be most appreciated. 

 

Thanks,
