Hi, I'm Robinson, an Independent Advisor and a Windows user like you.
1-Click on 3 dots then click on settings
2-Click on Profiles then click on profile preferences.
3- Enable the option 'Allow single sign-on for work or school sites using this profile'
How to do this rather depends on how you launch Edge.
If you normally click on the taskbar icon, then switch to your work account and navigate to your preferred start-up page. This will create a new icon on the taskbar, with a tiny overlay showing your profile image for this account and a tooltip showing the name of this profile. Right-click on this icon and select Pin to taskbar. You could right-click on the original taskbar icon and select Unpin from taskbar if you never want to launch Edge with the personal profile active.
It gets a bit more complicated if you use a different shortcut to launch the program, so please post back to say how you start Edge to be sure you get the right instructions.
Hello,
To do this you need to change the default profile.
I found this guide on how to do it Specify Default Profile to Open Links for Microsoft Edge (winaero.com)
Tell me how it goes
