Every time I start Edge info about Adblock has updated

I too have been experiencing this aggravation. It started roughly 3 weeks ago.
I've done the steps posted to fix it but they don't work on my system.

Win10 Pro Ver 1803 OS Build 17134.523
Microsoft Edge 42.17134.1.0
Microsoft EdgeHTML 17.17134

how to remove the intrusive page ..... ms-browser-extension: //10_EyeoGmbHAdblockPlus_d55gg7py3s0m0/first-run.html

Same problem. The earlier post for a work-around doesn't work either, even when the two missing steps 2a and 2b are added. Today my Win 10 software upgraded to Ver 1809 and I had high hopes for a fix since I had later versions than others in this forum, but it didn't happen.

Edge 44.17763.1.0
Edge HTML 18.17763

The following was from ABP Support team.
In the meantime disabling cookie auto-deletion on Edge is the best workaround. You can stop auto-deletion of cookies by taking the steps below:

1.Open Microsoft Edge
2.Select More (...) to open the menu and click on Settings
2a. Select Privacy and Security
2b. Select “Choose what to clear”

3.Uncheck the box next to “cookies and saved website data”

Feel free to contact us if you have any more questions!

Now after second reboot of my computer after the Win 10 Ver 1809 upgrade, and repeating the steps previously listed, the Adblock issue seems to be gone.

To be repetitive: same problem. Windows 10.0.17134 Build 17134, Edge 42.17134.1.0. Posted workaround doesn't work. I've uninstalled/reinstalled ABP...no luck.

I get this too, edge V44. How about removing this useless page altogether?
