title: I am using Microsoft Edge Chromium with Selenium and I keep on getting the msedge.exe as a startup item
body: <p>This is the code I used for using Selenium with Microsoft Edge Chromium browser:</p>
  <pre><code>from selenium.webdriver.edge.options import Options
  from selenium.webdriver.edge.service import Service
  from selenium.webdriver.edge.webdriver import WebDriver
  
  driveroptions = Options()
  driveroptions.use_chromium = True
  driveroptions.add_argument('--start-maximized')
  driveroptions.binary_location = &quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe&quot;
  service = Service(executable_path=&quot;msedgedriver.exe&quot;)
  
  driver = webdriver.Edge(options=driveroptions, service=service)
  </code></pre>
  <p>And whenever I restart the system, I get more than 100 msedge.exe in the startup under Task Manager and get 100s of popups of msedge.exe command prompt like this <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/5he9O.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Popups picture</a>. I deleted them from the startup with Autoruns but I got them again after restart. Has anyone else encountered this issue?</p>
