Other possible solutions seem to be: - logging off and on again - deleting the folder C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows To delete the folder use an emergency Linux on a stick. It's the most comfortable solution. Alternatively you can create a second admin account on the machine, log off your main account, log into the secondary and use it to delete the folder. I never tried this but constructive it should also work. In explorer you will have to select "show hidden items".
So, that prevents Edge from loading on startup, YES! Question: seems that setting another browser as default also prevents that behavior, do you know what values in registry are changed when that happens?
well for me desktop icons just make it very ugly, hmm I'd rather use Rocketdock since the times of beloved Windows XP
