    Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is William. I'm a Microsoft Windows Certified Professional and Systems Administrator. I'll be happy to help you out today.

    This would imply that you have set Edge to run as administrator. To undo this, locate the Edge desktop icon > right-click > Properties > Compatibility > uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
