How to run edge inside MSIX
OK. I have heard of the complaint from others. It is not a problem that I have looked into. It is something Microsoft will have to address. To gain traction, I would recommend using the feedback hub on this one.
Berg745 Additional thought on this. I found something indicating that Shared Package Container
is not supported by Microsoft for Edge.
But there is a way (possibly) to achieve what you want by adjusting how your application runs in it's container. In your AppXManifest file, for the application that you are running, add the following as child elements of the application. Check documentation on those elements. There may be capabilities that need be added. Also make sure you add the reference for uap10 in the Package element. I have not tested this myself.
<Applications>
<Application ... EntryPoint="some.exe"
uap10:TrustLevel="appContainer"
uap10:RuntimeBehavior="packagedClassicApp">
</Application>
</Applications>
Berg745 Additional data on this.
I have determined that an app that launches edge from within an MSIX container can indeed run inside the container, even if Edge was already open externally on Win11 24H2. There may be specifics of how this app (which itself knew nothing of being in a container) opened edge, and I will mention that I was using my version of the PSF ( although I am not sure that mattered). A new tab was opened in the existing Edge window, but as each tab is a separate process and that Edge process was running inside the app container.
One possible thing you should check is whether you have a setting/policy on edge that affects this in your environment. My edge was set to defaults.
Thanks i going to give it a try.
