The consensus is the following:
1) Recent Edge updates do not address the issue despite what MS says
2) Three fixes that seem to work:
a) Go to C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Recovery\Active and delete all files and folders in there makes it open without any previous tabs. This cache seems to be rebuilt each time the browser starts
b) From the command line "start microsoft-edge:http://www.microsoft.com"
c) As I explained above. Shut off your networking and restart the browser then either kill the known tab or kill each and every tab and shutdown the browser. Turn networking back on and restart Edge.
Hope this helps someone else. Looks like MS needs a new update because the malware writers have found a better exploit.
