C# and Edge browser extensions

Question

Using C#, is it possible to check if Edge browser extension is disabled and if so, to enable it with c# code?

Answer 1

Hi @Vadim K,

You can find some information of extensions in the Preferences file under your profile folder (you can check it at edge://version).

Once you find it, you can search for the information according to extension ID (to get the ID, turn on Developer mode at edge://extensions). There may be multiple search results, but after one of these results, you can find an attribute called "state". A value of 1 means enabled while 0 means disabled.

You can only go this far to learn about the information of extensions.

Answer 3

If Edge browser extension are disabled, your Edge browser extension won't start and so it can't check anything.

Answer 4

I would even say that, where is the place where the edge stores information about whether extension is enabled or disabled?
