How to block Microsoft Edge when starting Windows 10

<>

When we boot Windows 10, Microsoft Edge loads earlier. De esta dinámica, cuando abramos el browser, lo hará mucho más rápido de lo normal. Esto de por sí es algo cómodo, dado que nos posibilita usar el navegador de una forma mucho más cómoda, pero muchos usuarios no usan este navegador. Entonces este procedimiento es algo que no tiene sentido en tu caso.

Even if we pretend we can prevent Edge from preloading every time we boot Windows 10. There is a way to achieve this, which we will explain below. You will see that it is something very simple to obtain.

We are going to work on the Windows 10 registry, so it is good to create a restore point before, as we told you a few days ago. Next, we execute the regedit command that will allow us to open the registry. Once inside, we have to go to this route: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Políticas Microsoft MicrosoftEdge Main.

The next thing we will do is go to the Main key. We click with the right button of the mouse and in the alternatives that come out we select new. Later, 32-bit DWORD value. We have to give it a name, which in this circumstance would be AllowPrelaunch and then we assign it a value of 0.

When we have done this, we are getting Edge to not be preloaded when we start Windows 10. We also have to deactivate the preload of the new tab. For this, we head to the next route: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Policies Microsoft MicrosoftEdge TabPreloader. Inside the TabPreloader key, again we create a value called AllowTabPreloading and we give it a value of 0.

With these steps we have already finished the entire procedure. So, when we start Windows 10 once, the browser will not preload anytime. A procedure that as long as we want we can reverse. Even if we don't use Edge, it doesn't make sense to do so. Do you use Microsoft Edge?
