I am seeing some unusual behaviour from MS Edge - using TCP View there are constant Syn Sent messages to local host and another IP, see the image below:

This behaviour has only recently started. Can anyone verify whether this is normal behaviour? I have not observed this before

    The SYN Sent messages originate from the msedge.exe process, confirming they're related to Microsoft Edge.

    There are multiple Edge processes involved, with PIDs 13912 and 13912.

    The connections use both TCP and TCPv6.

    All connections are in the SYN Sent state, indicating Edge is initiating connections but not receiving responses.

       The local ports involved are 51395 and 51394.
    
    • An unknown host with the name SCG1386KRM.Research this IP address or hostname to understand its purpose and potential relation to Edge's activity.
