How do you change which profile is the default?
I'd like to set a particular profile as my default profile for opening hyperlinks from other applications. Is there a way to specify which profile new Edge Dev windows open with?
In Edge 81 onward, you can do this natively in the browser. Check out this discussion - https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/select-a-default-profile-to-open-external-links-in/m-p/1174768

MicrosoftHi USMA56795 - the short answer, not today.
With that said, profile management is a big topic on this end. We could tweak some shortcuts to maybe open a specific profile when Microsoft Edge launches, but this isn't the end result you are looking for when it comes top URL's from within other apps.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll mark on this end as a feature request to track with profiles. A default profile as you mentioned is a good call out.
Thanks,
