Disable Edge preload #184

Closed Disassembler0 closed 5 years ago

Feature request received via mail

...a registry key to disable Microsoft Edge Preload (it's a new from the October 2018 update: Edge is pre-launched and tabs are Pre-Loaded when windows startup. Some user prefer other browsers so it's totally unuseful to start edge at system startup wasting resources)

To disable Browser startup and/or Tabs Preloading

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Main] "AllowPrelaunch"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\TabPreloader] "AllowTabPreloading"=dword:00000000

To Re-Enable values can be either deleted or set to 01 .

Thanks for all your work! Nick
