Feature Request: Right click on EDGE taskbar icon to pick profile for a new Edge Window
I've been looking for a solution to this as well. I occasionally want to open Edge using a different profile (I have Work and Personal). Still, I first have to open Edge, click the profile icon at the top left, and select my other profile, opening a new window.
I know you can add another shortcut to Edge and add this as an argument:
--profile-directory={Profile Name}I'd much rather have the option to right-click the icon in the taskbar to select which profile I want to use.
This is already possible for Incognito, so it would be great to add options for the different profiles (or the most frequently used ones)!
I'm sure there are technical challenges to this, likely caused by limitations in how context menus work in Windows, but I'm pretty sure I've seen this behavior with other apps.
