You can try How to reset Microsoft Edge completely from a Microsoft Account to make a fresh start if not its quite possible no one knows.Unfortunately I have to use Edge for a very specific application, hence why I want to solve the problem.
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml" -Verbose}
It has been going on for 2 weeks, and Edge has been running for hours over those 2 weeks. CPU usage stays problematic.1 what you describe is a system running something in the background
2 you don't need a link to some 3rd party software [i removed it]
3 Edge is part of Windows and can't be removed
4 in your linked photo Edge is using 30% [ish] Cpu which is normal at boot up until edge finishes doing its scan... at that point it should drop to around 3% assuming you only have one non-vid tab open
in my opinion Microsoft has taken control of your system in order to upgrade Edge to their new Ai powered browser... once thats done it should hand it back to you
Did you clear your cache and check for browser extensions?It may or may not have come after an update, but Edge constantly uses too much CPU. Even closing it down doesn't kill the process and it keeps using CPU, I have to kill the process myself. Edge doesn't start at boot. Edge's behavior is also abnormal. If I click on the title bar, the computer becomes partially unresponsive: I can't click anywhere, but scrolling the pages work. The mouse also moves and either ctrl+alt+del or alt+tab seems to make it snap out of it until I click on the Edge title bar again.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it with Chris Titus' winutil, scanning the computer with malwarebytes.
Startup boost is disabled, efficiency profile et balanced savings, "continue running background extensions" is off even though there are no extensions installed.
Windows 10 x64 22H2 (19045.4651)
Any ideas how to solve this? I need to use Edge for some applications AND to use my battery, which are currently incompatible.
cleared all privacy data, including IE data. no extensions installed.Did you clear your cache and check for browser extensions?
Hmm.. that is unusual behavior...cleared all privacy data, including IE data. no extensions installed.
The behavior is present even with a blank tab open (and even with edge closed).
16 Gb ram
I feel it came about after a windows update, but I haven't kept track of which one it might be. Edge seems buggy, as described in my first post with the strange behavior with the title bar. This is not low ram lag or cpu usage lag.
I agree so I uninstalled Edge (/w EdgeBlock) and Edge Webview (Edge Redirect) then renamed the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge.not\1 what you describe is a system running something in the background

Running this as administrator in PowerShell will purportedly re-register Edge:
If you're still seeing the issue after this, something else is going on with third party software on the system.
Should I still run the powershell command even if it seems to work? I'm not sure I understand what it does.You can try How to reset Microsoft Edge completely from a Microsoft Account to make a fresh start if not its quite possible no one knows.

If it ain't broke don't fix it What it would do is register it again for all users.Should I still run the powershell command even if it seems to work? I'm not sure I understand what it does.
