I am using the dev preview of the new Chromium-based Edge, which I like very much.

However, the old Edge has 5 processes running as per task manager.

 

I would like to disable these processes, as I do not use the older version anymore.

Is this possible without affecting the stability of Windows itself, (as I have read in various places on the Internet)?

Is it even necessary?

Thanks. Seems that way.

I'd leave it alone for now and at some point down the line they'll remove the old Edge version on their own.    You could test it out for now and kill those processes and see what happens?  I also have them showing up so it's probably meant to for now.

Thanks. I did what you suggested, but they returned whenever I started Edge Chromium, so I guess you are correct.

I'll leave it alone.

    • The $80 video game - A new frontier of cost, or a bridge too far?

      By +FloatingFatMan · Posted

      Prices have been unchanged for a looooong time, so really, it's time for a new price bracket, no matter how annoying it is. AAA titles just cost too much to develop these days. Personally, though, I tend to play mostly indie titles that are much lower priced and usually are far better games anyway.

      Personally I don't usually play most games enough to justify paying £75 / $100 for a single game. I recently got a Switch 2 which came bundled with Mario Kart World, due to some discount codes I worked out I paid approx. £30 for Mario Kart World getting it bundled with the console. If I had paid £75 for Mario Kart World I'll be honest I would have been very disappointed with it. The big open world is essentially empty and lacking any real content, the changes to go GP mode mean you only really do one lap in most races... compared to Mario Kart 8 which has pretty much always been available for around £40 you have to ask why the game is almost double the cost? Look at all the content available in a Forza Horizon game compared to Mario Kart. For £30 I feel the game is ok, its not bad, however its not amazing either.

      It was just a copy pasta from his other replies...

      I think that the last game I bought on day-one was something like Ghost of Tsushima. I've come to realise that I don't have enough time (or sometimes inclination) to game as much as I used to, and I've got plenty of games to keep me occupied if I do decide to play. So I don't see the need to buy a game when it first releases - I wait until it goes on sale. If I'm really excited about a game and the price is under £50 then I would consider it, but anything over that price point gets ignored until the price comes down.

      For the foreseeable that is your choice. I'm interested tom try one, my wife was very pleased because one she is anti-social and driver chat annoys her and two more seriously there is a long history of drivers abusing women, it's rare, but it happens and more than it should. Sometimes she needs to get a late taxi and she says it may make her feel safer.
