Change Microsoft Edge Theme Through Powershell?

Question

I currently have two tasks running that will change my windows 10 theme using:

"Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 1"

However I can't find anything about changing the actual them of the edge browser since it is not synced with Windows theme selection. 

Can anyone give me some help?

Answer 1

Sir,

The poster was asking how to set the theme of the Edge browser with a Powershell script... not by going through Windows and clicking on things. 

The likely purpose of him wanting to use Powershell to do this is so that he can automatic the process of setting up his desktop with his personalized settings so he does not have to waste time clicking things.

Could you please provide the Powershell script needed to set Dark theme Microsoft Edge?
