This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable "Continue running
background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed" for your account or all users in
Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January
15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS.
With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and
extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
Background extensions and apps will continue running when Microsoft Edge is
closed by default.
This allows Microsoft Edge processes to start at OS sign-in and keep running
after the last browser window is closed. In this scenario, background apps and
the current browsing session remain active, including any session cookies. An
open background process displays an icon in the system tray and can always be
closed from there.

when Microsoft Edge is closed" for Current User from Settings
