Microsoft Edge - Closing
There is no obvious means of totally closing Edge, clicking the X top right of screen effectively closes the browser and it no longer shows on Task Manager, but it is still running hidden.
Most cleaning programs require browsers to be closed. For example CCleaner will force Edge to close, others may not.
The only way I know to totally close Edge is this -
1. Make sure that Edge is open and live, it will then show in Task Manager under
Processes/Apps.
2. Right click Edge in Task Manager, then click End Task.
3. Edge is now totally closed and no longer running hidden.
4. Do this closing before running a cleaning program.
Task Manager -
Right click the taskbar (bottom screen), click Task Manager on popup panel.
