On Windows 10, every time you upgrade to a new version, during the first sign-in after the installation, Microsoft Edge opens automatically and display a welcome screen. While this “Windows welcome experience” may be useful to highlight new features, and more importantly it indicates that your device has been upgraded successfully, it’s not something that everyone wants to see in the desktop after an upgrade.
