Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
I believe I found the solution for this issue:

Try disabling Startup boost. Go to edge://Settings. Then System and Performance. You can disable startup boost there.

In Edge click on three horizontal dots top right. Then Settings. Then System and Performance. Startup Boost is the first item.
On my PC (Dell XPS 9710, Win 10 Home 22H2) there is a button to turn on Startup Boost but there is also this message: “Startup boost is turned off as the current profile is using one or more extensions that are conflicting. Turning on startup boost anyway may not work as expected.” The extension in question is my password manager. Edge seems to start up instantly even with Startup Boost off.
