With each new release of Windows 10, new options are included that have been developed thinking of optimizing the user experience at the best levels of both performance, versatility, compatibility and operation. Although some applications are removed from the operating system, others have significant changes and improvements that as users we can explore to the fullest and this is the case of the Windows 10 integrated browser, Microsoft Edge..
features
Microsoft Edge has been developed as a universal application in which features such as:
- Now it has extension support.
- A rendering engine has been integrated with the best features to make the entire search process much more effective.
- Simplified user interface
- Compatibility with PDF files and many more functions.
Among the new that we find in Microsoft Edge, is the function that is responsible for automatically preloading the start pages and the new tabs when accessing the browser, in addition there is a preview of each tab opened in Edge:
Microsoft Edge carries out the process of loading the Start and New tab page during the Windows operating system login and with each closing of the Microsoft Edge browser in order to minimize the time required to start Microsoft Edge and access new tabs . Now we will see how to disable this functionality of Microsoft Edge.
