The State Repository Service was introduced with Windows 10 to manage and store browsing sessions on web browsers. It is responsible for rendering browser components used for syncing and restoring sessions, which includes storing essential information like browsing history, cookies, and sessions.
This service is not limited to Microsoft Edge; it also helps with other Chromium based browsers like Chrome and Opera by managing session data and ensuring a seamless browsing experience across different platforms.
It does not support Firefox or other non-Chromium browsers. These browsers have their own mechanisms for managing session data and state information.
The State Repository Service can automatically start and stop as needed. This behavior is normal and helps manage system resources efficiently.
