Edge forcing switch profiles when using any .local domain or IP address
I've noticed this today after upgrading to Windows 11 23H2, personal profile that can access local network devices like CCTV systems, monitoring, etc... Always get switched to work profile. Any other...
any website I try to access via IP address on a personal profile gets pushed to the work profile. Cmon guys, this is silly!
I've also tested this on a sandbox environment to eliminate it being related to a device policy from Intune, exactly the same problem happens with an un-managed device
- confirmed, when no work profile is logged in, the personal profile opens .local and ip addresses. when I log into my work profile, then every time I try to open a ip or .local, it forces the switch to a work profile. There is no way to stop this behaviour. Tested on stable and canary channels.
- I can confirm this problem does NOT exist on Version 118.0.2088.61 (Official build) (64-bit)
Only newer versions including Version 119.0.2151.44 (Official build) (64-bit) all have this problem.
That will force people to use Chrome instead!
