Edge Profiles and Windows 11 Desktops

Hi

I was trying out Windows 11 virtual desktops (the built-in type - real virtualisations). I had assumed that edge profiles would link to these so that I could choose to use a particular work/home profile on a particular desktop/. But I can't see any way to create such a link. Can this be done? (if not, does anyone else think it a good idea?.) So, when you change to a desktop, edge defaults to a particular profile and Microsoft 365 sign on- one you have associated with the work you are doing in that desktop.

    Ian,
    If you found already a solution, I would like to know too. I'm a Free-lancer and I work for multiple clients. And it would be awesome if you could pin one client per desktop (with the edge and everything that is related to client X to that) Because for the moment this can only be done on the level of the browser. And when you don't pay attention, you start to mix those profiles. I even would like to go one step beyond, like in edge where you can say that the organisation can manage this device (that you can say that Desktop X can be managed by tenant X and Y by tenant Y ...

      DVanGoolTOL Sadly not. You describe exactly my problems - merging. You also get this annoying situation where you can't open files in one of your 365 tenants because someone else in your organisation is already signed in (when clearly, they aren't). Multiple tenants is not a good experience.
