Re: Microsoft Edge Process Windows 10
Lora Ceasor
I think Windows task manager sees Edge differently than its own built in task manager.
obviously built-in task manager inside Edge is more accurate, showing exactly which process is for which extension or which tab.
another good article about this subject
so as shown in the screenshot above, after sorting Task manager by "Name", there will only be 1 group of Microsoft Edge (Chromium based) in the Apps section. I couldn't make it 2. even after opening 2 windows and opening multiple inprivate mode windows, it stayed the same and all new processed went under it.
It should be the way how Windows 10 handles programs, or maybe only x64 bit programs. I think to know more about it, we need a Windows 10 developer or engineer. since Windows is not open source, there aren't much info found on the Internet about how under the hood stuff works.
What I don't understand is why, with the same web page, sometimes the processes in the background, are in the Apps section (with all the others) and sometimes, with this same web page, the processes in background are in the Background processes section (and separate)
If I close and reopen the same web page, I have 1 in 2 times the background processes in Apps and the other time in the Background processes section (with exactly the same processes in the browser task manager)
Always search first. It is the best way to quickly find your answer. Check out the icon for that.
Clicking the options button will let you set more specific topic search filters, i.e. only the ones with a solution.
Hopefully this will let you easily find the solution/information you need. Once you have it, we would be happy if you could share your findings here and mark it as a solution. This will help other users find it in the future.
Sorry, I still have the problem. I use CMD to kill msedge process, but when I try to open it again, msedge browser still keeps data from previous transaction run. So, it does not behave well (e.g. it does not ask for user and password when entering a private zone but uses previous data from the case prior to kill msedge app). What should I do to really kill msedge previous processes?
On one of my older test machines with Windows Update enabled, the newer Chromium-based build of Microsoft Edge has been downloaded - upon rebooting for the first time after the update had been installed, I hit the "Close" button; I didn't want to make Edge the default browser. However, it appears that a process named "MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe" has appeared in the Task Manager that automatically updates the build of Edge that's currently installed.
Open the Services in Win 7, you will find there one called:"MicrosoftEdgeElevationService",which does the following:"Keeps Microsoft Edge up to update. If this service is disabled, the application will not be kept up to date."In my case, after installing MS edge (via windows update) this service is deactivated (set on "manual").

The data we collect depends on the context of your interactions with Microsoft and the choices you make (including your privacy settings), the products and features you use, your location, and applicable law.
Interactions. Data about your use of Microsoft products. In some cases, such as search queries, this is data you provide in order to make use of the products. In other cases, such as error reports, this is data we generate. Other examples of interactions data include:
Content. Content of your files and communications you input, upload, receive, create, and control. For example, if you transmit a file using Skype to another Skype user, we need to collect the content of that file to display it to you and the other user. If you receive an email using Outlook.com, we need to collect the content of that email to deliver it to your inbox, display it to you, enable you to reply to it, and store it for you until you choose to delete it. Other content we collect when providing products to you include:

Our processing of personal data for these purposes includes both automated and manual (human) methods of processing. Our automated methods often are related to and supported by our manual methods. For example, to build, train, and improve the accuracy of our automated methods of processing (including artificial intelligence or AI), we manually review some of the output produced by the automated methods against the underlying data.
For these purposes, we combine data we collect from different contexts (for example, from your use of two Microsoft products). For example, Microsoft Store uses information about the apps and services you use to make personalized app recommendations. However, we have built in technological and procedural safeguards designed to prevent certain data combinations where required by law. For example, where required by law, we store data we collect from you when you are unauthenticated (not signed in) separately from any account information that directly identifies you, such as your name, email address, or phone number.
When we process personal data about you, we do so with your consent and/or as required to provide the products you use, operate our business, meet our contractual and legal obligations, protect the security of our systems and our customers, or fulfill other legitimate interests of Microsoft as described in this section and in the Reasons we share personal data section of this privacy statement.
