    It already does, on startup, on 11. The process is set to auto-run in task manager on every single new installation, it just doesn’t “appear” though the process is already loaded in memory the moment you log in.

      Windows already automatically preloads Edge in the background by default to increase its startup performance, so it’s not a huge leap to automatically display the app itself if Windows knows you’re going to open it anyway.
