Windows 10: Why does Microsoft Edge appear in Task Manager Processes when it is not used

Why does Microsoft Edge appear in Task Manager Processes when it is not used. Disk usage is very high on starting my pc and Edge always appears. Can I uninstall Edge?

:)

 

Microsoft Edge / DUI70.DLL causes Task Manager to crash.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the latest Microsoft Edge.
   
2. Open Task Manager with "performance" (or any other than "processes") as default tab.
   
3. Wait a few seconds.
   
4. Switch to "processes" tab.
   

After switched to "processes" tab, there's a small change Task Manager will crash (0xC0000005, faulting module: DUI70.DLL).

So I decided to use WinDbg and caught the crash into a MiniDump:

MiniDump: OneDrive

Hope you guys will fix bugs of Task Manager, it's very buggy. I encountered more crashes like 0xc0000409 NTDLL.DLL.
