Jeffz9527 Thanks for sharing that article. Is it possible the reason the feature disappeared after your Windows upgrade is because your modified Canary shortcut (with the command line argument) was overwritten during the upgrade?
I'm on a Mac so I tried launching Canary from the terminal using this command:
open -a "Microsoft Edge Canary" --args -–enable-features=msWorkspaces
Canary launched, but the Workspaces features was not enabled.
HotCakeX Do you know who from Microsoft moderates this forum and could give us a more definitive understanding of the status of this interesting new feature? Example: Is it only currently available in the Windows build of Canary? Thanks!

Moderators are OK with this when I asked them,
as far as I know features like this in Edge shouldn't be related to Windows insider builds.
some of the features activated like this might only work on certain platforms/OSes.
when you modify an Edge shortcut, make sure launch Edge always from that shortcut and also try turning off startup boost because it keeps Edge executables running in the background and you won't see the effect on the new feature you activated.
hope that helps
