Huh, this sounds exactly like what they had been doing with the OfficeClickToRun.exe, which would update in the background and keep parts of Office preloaded so it would launch quickly.
I can't find anything explaining what differs between this, but I can find people comparing Edge's "Startup Boost" feature of the same name to the long-standing OfficeClickToRun.exe ( e.g. here https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/22778/bms-crashes-after-t... )
I haven't used Windows in three years or Office in seven so it's possible they removed OfficeClickToRun.exe since 2022 and are reintroducing it.
Yes, I'm talking about the "OfficeClickToRun.exe" that would run in the background, keeping big parts of the software preloaded. It would do things like update automatically in the background as well.
They have done that for at least ten years, I believe, with "Click to Run".

The headline is about preloading into memory, not onto the hard disk.
