Every single time I wake up my computer from sleep the Edge browser opens up in full screen. I have as many Edge settings disable as possible, Chrome is my default browser, and there are no keyboard shortcuts that could possibly open it.

It doesn't matter if I press the spacebar, click my mouse, etc. No matter how the PC awakes, Edge launches itself in full view on top of the other apps.

It's blatantly aggravating stuff like this that pisses me off even more than spying telemetry.



If I'm not mistaken, tasks defined in Task Scheduler can be set to run at system wake, so maybe look at your tasks... I'd be worried about something configured to load a URL (i.e. call home) on every system wake.
