 Load of BS - its not an installed program, but an internal process in windows. Fake page, fake shit.

 My browser is running fine without it, but this process wants internet access. What exactly does it do? Microsoft doesn't seem sure of its purpose.
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-security/what-is-browserbrokerexe-for/151ecab7-db89-4cff-a13f-4a93ea17ca80
"We suspect that the browser_broker.exe is a file related to the browser and its background related functions."
If it's indeed doing background stuff not related to update, does it really need internet access?
