Win 11 Pro - 22H2 (Build 22621.900) - RP Insider
Edge Version 108.0.1462.46 (Official build) (64-bit)

Just today I noticed that after a restart, there was a shortcut for Edge on the desktop, the same Edge (chromium) I've been using for every.
Deleted it, cleared the recycle bin and restarted PC - shortcut is back after every restart and I cannot find any way to stop this happening?

Anyone able to help? Appreciated.
Thanks!

Maybe try one of these:
1. Task manager > Startup apps > switch Microsoft Edge off
2. Download "Autoruns", run it as administrator, uncheck all Microsoft Edge entries.

Because some Win 11 users report this problem on other forums all the time.

Really? That was old news 4 months ago.
Anyway, Brink posted something from January that should kill the issue for good.

I follow some forums from my part of the globe (i.e. from Poland and Russia) and that's where I found complaints on reappearing MS Edge icons after restart.
