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...
there is an icon on the URL bar
Selecting this allowed me to choose in which profile I want to open that specific website, including .local and IP addresses.
I wish Microsoft made this a bit more evident as it is a new feature. I just noticed this as on my 4th machine I was prompted to select the profile I wanted. In 3 other machines, I was not prompted.
AlexB I don't see that icon anywhere. I looked at the profile preferences but nothing there either.
- Actually it is there sometimes. Some addresses show it, others not, for example 192.168.2.64 pops to another windows and shows me the icon. And 192.168.2.1 remains in the same profile and does not show the icon. No idea what the logic is behind this.
