Select a default profile to open external links in

[Avi Vaid]

Thanks to everyone for your feedback, we know that opening links from external apps hasn’t been the greatest experience for users with multiple profiles. We’re excited to announce that Microsoft Edge now supports selecting a default profile to open external links in builds 81.0.411.0 and higher. So now, you can ensure that when you click links from another app, those links open in the profile of your selection.

To select a default profile to open external links, do the following:

1.       Navigate to edge://settings

2.       Select the "Multiple profile preferences" option (Note: This will only show if you have multiple profiles.)

3.       Use the drop down menu to select which profile you'd like external links to open with.

We hope that this helps make your experience opening links from external apps better. Let us know what you think! If there’s anything you feel could improve this, we’d love to know.

I have Microsoft 365, business.  I also have multiple profiles .  My multiple profile selections do not look like your selections.  I have last used , Personal ( with an old email) and Profile 1.   Most importantly I need to delete that old email ( Gmail ).   It was a company that let me go.   Not even sure how it become my personal profile?  any help would be appreciated.
