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
You can easily create shortcuts to open a specific profile. Create the shortcut using the path:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge Dev\Application\msedge.exe" --profile-directory="Profile 1"
I'm trying to find a way to use it as a default profile when clicking in URLs. Today it will use the last used/active profile.

- The first profile I created was named "Default". The next ones were named "Profile 1", Profile 2, Profile 3.
