Pinned tiles open in Edge/classic instead of Edge/Chromium

Jacques Van de Meerssche it's actually because of the underlying technology. Those "start" tiles are called "secondary tiles" and are linked to the old Edge process. We have to do work on our side to 'upgrade' them when you switch default browsers. We have that work on our roadmap, but it will take a little while to get it out - it's part of Windows, not part of the Browser itself.
I did indeed use the "Pin to start" command. A lot of them were created before it was moved under the "More tools" header. When I installed Edge/C though I initially kept Edge/classic as my default browser since I wanted to play with it a while before going full bore. Since I liked it I changed the default to Edge/C after a couple of days. Could that be why the tiles were bot flagged for Edge/C?johnjansen

davequail it has to be due to the way they were created. If they were created in old Edge via "Pin to the Start Menu" that is different from Pin to taskbar or creating shortcuts. I believe that in this case, you are both creating them using a different technique.
