# Prelaunch Microsoft Edge and preload tabs in the background
Microsoft Edge pre-launches as a background process during Windows startup when the system is idle waiting to be launched by the user. Pre-launching helps the performance of Microsoft Edge and minimizes the amount of time required to start up Microsoft Edge. You can also configure Microsoft Edge to prevent Microsoft Edge from pre-launching.
Additionally, Microsoft Edge preloads the Start and New tab pages during Windows sign in, which minimizes the amount of time required to start Microsoft Edge and load a new tab. You can also configure Microsoft Edge to prevent preloading of tabs.

# Sync browser settings
By default, the “browser” group syncs automatically between the users devices, letting users make changes. The “browser” group uses the Sync your Settings option in Settings to sync information like history and favorites. You can configure Microsoft Edge to prevent the “browser” group from syncing and prevent users from turning on the Sync your Settings toggle in Settings. If you want syncing turned off by default but not disabled, select the _Allow users to turn “browser” syncing_ option in the Do not sync browser policy.
## Policies
- [Do not sync browser settings](../available-policies.md#do-not-sync-browser-settings)
- [Prevent users from turning on browser syncing](../new-policies.md#prevent-users-from-turning-on-browser-syncing)
## Configuration options
![Sync browser settings automatically](../images/sync-browser-settings-automatically-sm.png)
![Prevent syncing of browser settings](../images/prevent-syncing-browser-settings-sm.png)
## Verify the configuration
To verify if syncing is turned on or off:
1. In the upper-right corner of Microsoft Edge, click the ellipses \(**...**\).
2. Click **Settings**.
3. Under Account, see if the setting is toggled on or off.<p>![Verify configuration](../images/sync-settings.PNG)
