You're not kidding. I tried to install a portable version but after going in circles over and hour I gave up. It kept updating no matter what settings I tried.

I finally found a portable version of 53 ESR and that worked. I use FEBE so all I had to do was copy a backup from last year into 53. So now I have 53 and 58. I prefer 53. It runs like a dream. I really do not like Quantum but will keep it so Edge doesn't get made default.

I use process explorer to monitor hogs. It helps track down leaks. It showed the extensions I was using causing the huge jump. The main culprit was Ad Block Plus switched to Ublock Origin and that helped.

I downgraded my graphics driver because the new driver windows keeps installing is not authorized for my laptop. Now that was fun. Windows and I went a few rounds but I won. Every time I uninstalled my graphics driver windows reinstall it before I could install a new one. Every time. I was finally able to uninstall, run the hide updates troubleshooter and stop the viscous cycle.
