What is syntax for command line to run Edge in Kiosk Mode on two monitors (each one with separate window)

Question

I am looking for the command line syntax for running Edge in Kiosk mode in two separate windows but on two monitors - a different page in each window.

Hi @Łukasz Huk

It seems that window display rules will be ignored if we're using kiosk mode. The only workaround that I can come up with is using app mode --app= which I think has similar user experience with kiosk mode.

You can refer to the command line below. Please note to use the maximum display area of your monitor to set window position:

start msedge --app="https://www.bing.com" --window-position=0,0 --user-data-dir=c:/monitor1 && start msedge --app="http://www.google.com" --window-position=1920,0 --user-data-dir=c:/monitor2

Hi @Łukasz Huk

I searched online and it seems that we need to set --window-position=to start browsers in different screens. You can try the command lines like below:

start msedge https://www.bing.com --window-position=0,0 --kiosk --user-data-dir=c:/monitor1
start msedge http://www.google.com --window-position=1680,0 --kiosk --user-data-dir=c:/monitor2

unfortunately it doesn't work - EDGE starts in two separate windows, but always on monitor 1 - I put both commands in the bat file
