When using EdgeDriver method in C#, it searches for "MicrosoftWebDriver.exe" by default, but it's important to note that the actual Edge driver file is named "msedgedriver.exe" by default.

Hi @Ashish Mahajan ,

What is the selenium and edge version you're using?

The EdgeDriver method in C# requires a valid Microsoft Edge WebDriver to communicate with the browser.

First, install the latest C# Selenium WebDriver from here.

Second, download the matching version of Microsoft Edge Driver from this page.

If the problem persists, could you please share us more details (such as error code or error message)?
