  Huh, this sounds exactly like what they had been doing with the OfficeClickToRun.exe, which would update in the background and keep parts of Office preloaded so it would launch quickly. I can't find anything explaining what differs between this, but I can find people comparing Edge's "Startup Boost" feature of the same name to the long-standing OfficeClickToRun.exe ( e.g. here https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/22778/bms-crashes-after-time-spent-in-flight-memory-usage-warning-appears-moments-before-crash-memory-leak-issue/28 https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/22778/bms-crashes-after-t... ) I haven't used Windows in three years or Office in seven so it's possible they removed OfficeClickToRun.exe since 2022 and are reintroducing it.
