Microsoft Edge is the built-in browser built into the Windows 10 platform and is the successor to a long time running Internet Explorer that was the staple in Windows operating systems in the past.
The Edge browser brings a host of improvements and features that were previously not there in the Internet Explorer browser, but there is still a lit of bugs and glitches reported daily, and Microsoft is doing everything they can to finally deliver a bug-free web browser.
In the meantime, if you have switched to a new browser, you have to know that even if you do not use the Edge browser, it keeps working in the background. While this does not have any real-time effects, it is still a bit of a memory hog, so it is better to keep the Microsoft Edge browser disabled in order to free up that little bit of memory.
