Microsoft Edge allows preloading of the Start and New Tab pages during Windows sign-in, and each time Microsoft Edge closes by default. Preloading minimizes the amount of time required to start Microsoft Edge and load a new tab.  With this policy, you can configure Microsoft Edge to prevent preloading of tabs.
