Prevent Edge From Opening Whenever my computer wakes from sleep mode

I have a kvm switch and every time I switch back to my Win10 computer Edge opens. This also happens when my computer goes into sleep mode and I wake it up. Is there any way to prevent this? It only recently happened. Has a new "update" happened that includes this "feature"?

1. Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Did you also disable the Spotlight option?

If you did, and you're still seeing Edge launch with Windows, please see this post:

In Settings for either Edge or Windows, turn off "Open on startup" in regard to Microsoft Edge.

I did as you suggested some time ago and this seems to have stopped Edge from opening MOST of the time. However, once in a while it still happens. I cannot detect a pattern (sorry) but thank you for your help. It's still a lot better than it was.
