By default, when you close Microsoft Edge, the web browser can continue running in the background. While this likely won't be a big deal for more powerful computers, this could have a meaningful negative impact on less-powerful computers. Thankfully, regardless of your situation, Microsoft makes it easy to stop Microsoft Edge from running in the background on your Windows computer.
Now let's walk through the steps to stop Microsoft Edge from running in the background on your Windows computer.
Step 1. Open the Microsoft Edge web browser on your computer. You'll land on your Microsoft Edge home screen.
Step 2. Click the ellipses icon in the top right corner of the screen to open a menu, and then click "Settings" in that menu.
Step 3. Select "System and Preference" in the list of options on the left side of the screen. System and Preference options are shown on the right side of the screen.
Step 4. Find the System section, and then click to toggle off "Continue Running Background Extensions and Apps When Microsoft Edge is Closed." Microsoft Edge will no longer continue running in the background on your computer when the app is closed.
