Edge running in background

Hummm…. I'm hearing that changing the background permissions does NOT solve the problem. So, I'd be very interested in feedback from you if this is true or false.

Here is some background info...

Starting with Windows 10 version 1803 (the so-called Spring 2018 Update), there is an Edge background task that runs at login and approximately every 2 hours afterwards.
Note: Changes to the Privacy->Background Apps settings do not alter this behavior...

An oddity of this situation is that if you launch Edge normally, it will kill off the background version. So, if you launch Edge, and then close it, that gives you an approximate 2 hour window for your other utilities to run without
interference from Edge.

Another oddity is that if you change the default browser to something else, then Edge will not launch at login. Although, I haven't been able to personally verify this claim.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
