Microsoft Edge Update log


Recommended Posts

Hi all.

For the past week my microsoft edge has been generating a .log file.  I noticed it in my av log during a random check.  But, the thing that has me perplexed is the log time updates every thirty minutes or so.   Example, I check the log at 6 am ... it would say the log was done at 5:30 am.  If I check back at 6:30 the time would change to 6am.

If it popped up once in awhile fine but it keeps updating the time.

 

Below is the description of the .log file.

Detailed description:
Process:C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe
Action:Write
Path:C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\Log\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.log 
Don't remind me(0x386cd300)
Protection information: FD|10, 10, 30||

I don't use edge at all.  I'm not sure if this got triggered because of the last update.  But, any insight would be great.  Thanks in advance.

To be specific, it is created by;  "Microsoft Edge Update Service (edgeupdate)"

It is a NT Service that is used to Update MS Edge as needed, in the background, and you have found its log.

Spoiler
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft\EdgeUpdate\MicrosoftEdgeUpdate.exe" /svc
