    Hi, to fix the error, first download Autoruns:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns

    • Unzip autoruns64.exe, then right click and run as administrator.
    • In the Quick Filter box enter edgeupdate.vbs
    • Right click on any entry found and Delete

    Let me know the result.
