While watching the network activity with Wireshark I see that Edge on loading sends a broadcast upnp discovery packet and then interrogates every device that announces itself. While doing this it also makes external calls to Microsoft. Why?
Other browsers do not do this, they only show an "interest" when I directly connect to them.
