How to Enable Faster Microsoft Edge Updates on Windows 11

This article explains how to turn “Get the latest Microsoft Edge updates faster” on or off in Windows 11.

Microsoft Edge is the default browser in Windows 11. However, users can switch to their preferred or favorite browser anytime. Edge is based on Chromium, similar to Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers today.

Microsoft has added a new feature in Edge that allows users to get the latest updates faster. When on, Microsoft Edge will automatically update when the browser is idle. Your tabs will automatically be restored.

Turning on the “Get the latest Microsoft Edge updates faster” feature in Windows 11 can help ensure that your Edge browser stays up-to-date with the latest security updates and bug fixes. This feature allows the browser to update automatically when it’s not in use, so you won’t have to manually check for updates or wait for them to download and install.

However, some users may prefer to turn this feature off, especially if they have limited internet bandwidth or want to control when updates are installed. Turning off this feature will prevent Edge from updating automatically and will require you to manually check for updates and install them when they become available.
