The install size is just 8KB. Could it just be a link to open Edge?
The icon itself is probably more than 8kb. It's either incorrect or literally just a desktop URL shortcut
I don’t even see a link. Though I guess I should look inside Microsoft Edge.
Edit: I cannot find anyway to get to it in either the desktop or Edge. I do not have a signed in Microsoft account on this machine, so that may be why I don’t see it. I’m not willing to sign in to see.
I did see another report that it's just a component in Edge. Unfortunately I don't have that link handy right now.
