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?

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!

Jeffz9527 Glad that worked out for you! As far as I know Startup Boost is only a feature on the Windows version of Edge. I'm thinking that Workspaces has not yet been ported over to any of the MacOS versions of Edge.
