edge browser not close these days

[user20182019]

Could you improve this automatic browser cleaning in pro-version, so that it would force-close edge without asking (like in manual cleaning? )

This seems more edge browser problem after new updates, and i have try send lot of feedback to microsoft too.

 

Edge does not follow settings anymore, because is open at background when closes and does not empty cookies and log-out that

way from websites. All this worked for me before and settings are right, but browser does not do like settings command.

 

For this reason if i would use cc-cleaners automatic cleaning, browsers immediate force-closing would be very important,

because today edge is not working and that must be closed from task manager (or from app like cc-cleaner)

A fairly recent Edge update appears to have messed up or lost the settings that relate to background running. (Possibly deliberately ?)

The solution others have found works for them is to toggle the settings off and then back on again.

@nukecad   What worked initially on October 16th for my friend was to play with the Edge toggle switches -- turn startup boost on as well as the background processes -- restart -- turn back off and restart.  That worked until the latest Edge update a day or so ago.  I had my friend repeat turning the toggles back on and off -- restarting.  That appears to work, but not all the time.  As mentioned in my original thread, I can't check my machines as I'm still not back in my home thanks to Hurricane Ian.

@crizal Thanks for the update that Edge is messing about yet again.

I don't normally use it myself, - unless I have to because some website is being funny with Firefox.

Update, seems continue problem, i opened edge and went to some website, closed browser, i was log-in ,

 

but there arrived new windows11 update, that might be reason edge open to background when open computer?

(applications that start automatically)

i put that OFF.

I dont know how can they in big company like microsoft , flagship browser and settings not work? when closes browser, it does

not empty any cookies? 

Could cc-cleaner pro have anything to do with problems to edge ? If uninstall cc-cleaner, edge might work again as used to?

After reading and scouring several Windows 10 and 11 forums, I am quite certain that this particular issue with Edge is not the fault of CCleaner Free or CCleaner Pro.

We are all familiar with the fact that some Windows updates change some settings.  But in this case with Edge, it seems some recent Edge updates are keeping Edge processes running in the background, even though the Edge settings toggle switches for startup boost and background processes are turned off.  This is a Microsoft issue.  Only MS knows if it's being done deliberately.  Further muddling things, some people report the problem happens all the time now -- others see it come and go.  This would all be a moot point if Microsoft would actually respect user settings.

I'm also having the same problem. When I use CCleaner I get the pop up message that Edge is still open. This problem was present last year and the forum gave me an answer to fix the problem. Now the issue has reappeared. Any suggestions? See attached screen shots. Thanks

There are many users on the net talking about this.

I found out on my system at least that during one of the umpteen updates for Edge Chromium that it has places itself to run on startup in the Windows registry in one of the Run key areas.

It can be disabled or deleted from doing that in CCleaner, instructions:
1. Open CCleaner.
2. Go into: Tools > Startup > Windows (tab).
3. Locate the Edge reference and highlight/select it and choose to either Disable or Delete it.
4. Close CCleaner.
5. Recommended but not necessary: Restart the computer.

If it was located in the Windows registry Run key area it will likely get placed in there again sometime in the future during another Edge Chromium update.

@Andavari   Interesting!  BTW -- last Edge update was last Thursday and the issue hasn't come back on both of my friend's computers since then.  That will probably change.

Edge Chromium is just annoying, I don't like it at all, and don't like that it's forced upon my sysstem! That's why I don't use it, but since it's the system default browser it must be kept up-to-date.

[user20182019]

Today opening Edge noticed there update-page. Short time seemed things might be back to normal, but more i started open /close browser, nothing changed.

Seemed something forced browser back to wrong settings. First it was like, if i close browser, i am out of website and no backgr. processes?

But then same problems continue soon. I must use google chrome and long time thinking of changing laptop to chromebook too,

although there is not hdmi-place for some reason in those, but i could use adapter maybe.

[crizal]

@user20182019    Do a google search for "chromebooks with hdmi".  They're available in all price ranges.

For those that chose edge, settibg this group policy to disable seems to fix the edge stays open and can't clean "bug"

I'll follow up if this changes and it comes back.

Group Policy Editor ("GPE") is only in Win10/11 Pro, albeit there are ways to make it install and work on Home Editions because it's technically already installed on those systems too.

I've had that box toggled to Enabled in GPE for ages at this point (so long ago I forgot when I did it since back then I didn't write a comment like "Enabled on: <date, time>"), and Windows ignores it. Problem with GPE is some things can get outdated and no longer used.
