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

Thanks. If I have two Edge Dev windows open--with 2 different profiles--which is used for opening hyperlinks from other applications? It seems random.
E.g. When replying to this, it picked my work profile window, so I had to log in using my Microsoft account, which defeats the single-sign on experience.
The profile work so far is great, though: keep it up!

chris_conley It will open in the latest profile window that were active/used.
I found this thread looking for the same solution. It will be great to have n option to choose a default profile.
MacOS has an app called Choosy that does it.
