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.

    • That adverting your referring to can basically be turned off with a few Windows settings. The only advertising I've seen in the last couple of years on Windows 11 is Outlook ads because I don't have a Microsoft 365 subscription. That said, it took me only a couple days to get used to ignoring those ads. I would prefer they weren't there but it's not a big deal.
    • Petty nerd sums up many peoples dislike for things. i.e. Windows 11
    • I've been using Windows 11 since the day it was released. No complaints whatsoever from me but then again, I always like trying new things. It's been ROCK SOLID running my Dell XPS 8940 desktop.
