How to check correct version of Edge Chromium

Hi,

I've installed Edge Chromium on my PC but when I run below command, it's reflecting that Edge Legacy is installed How do I reflect Edge Chromium version? Please advise

PS C:\> Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach Version 44.18362.449.0

PS C:\> Get-AppxPackage -Name "Microsoft Edge" | Foreach Version PS C:\>

Thank you

    zerphyrIf you know the .exe file location, you can just use Get-Item to get the version of Edge

     

    (Get-Item "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe").VersionInfo.ProductVersion

    Outputs "107.0.1418.35" for me

    This command works for getting Chromium based Edge version:
    PS C:\> (Get-AppxPackage -Name "Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable").Version
  • zerphyr Hello!  Would it be possible for you to check the version using the browser settings or is there a specific reason to use PS?  Here is some information from our FAQ

      Kelly_Y, I'm using PS to check on remote users on the version. When I run PS on my PC, it's reflecting as above although the version on my PC is reflecting the correct Edge Chromium version

        zerphyr the Get-AppxPackage Cmdlet shows only Appx-Apps.

         

        Use WMI with PowerShell as follows, to get regular Installed Software-Packages:

        PS C:\Users\gunnar> Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | where Name -Like "*Edge*"
