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/
After the latest update on Microsoft Edge, I am getting an edgeservices.bing.com url that runs and never stops whenever I start Edge
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.
