I updated Edge to 112.0.1722.34, and ever since then whenever I open Edge, the startup page is briefly displayed and then the following URL is executed and never stops: https://edgeservices.bing.com/edgesvc/shell?lightschemeovr=1&FORM=SHORUN&udscs=1&udsnav=1&setlang=en-US&clientscopes=noheader,coauthor,chat,docvisibility,visibilitypm,&udsframed=1&adlt=strict If I log into another user on the same laptop, Edge opens correctly. How can I get Edge to not execute the above command? I'm running on Windows 10 Home 22H2 and Windows update is current.

    Daniel answer with 2 changes worked for me with child account. Add --disable-features=msUndersideButton as an additional argument in shortcut target field. Note --dis instead of -dis.... AND Disable "Startup boost" in Edge's "System and performance" setting. From https://www.reddit.com/r/MicrosoftEdge/comments/10jccjy/remove_the_discover_purple_star_button/

    Switch to a different account then switch back, that worked for me.

    Something that worked for me was going to Installed Apps --> then finding edge --> clicking on the three dots and choose Modify --> select to repair Edge. This solution solved the problem for me.User's image

    Sync is on, and I've also tried repairing Microsoft Edge; still doesn't work.

    To those of you who are panicking and thinking "ITS A VIRUS". no it's not. I can see we all have the same issue, but it's not harmful. IDK what is causing this, but this is probably a test for the updates windows gives us.
