Hello, today i meet issue with ms edge(driver). Today i switched a chrome drivers in my programs to edge, but everytime the program did his job and closing everytime edge is pinned to my taskbar(even if its pinned and now for example i have doubl edge on my taskbar) I would like to know how to disable it? If its important: the normal ms edge after close its just dissapear.but ms edge driver pins. I was never use before driver from microsoft so i m not sure its caused by my build(21359),ms driver or any other update

Did you get it from the official Microsoft website?
Are you referring to extension? -

Could you please inform us, which Edge browser version and which Edge Web Driver version you are using for a test?
Please provide some more information about your program. What is the purpose of it and how its supposed to work?
Does your program contain any code that pinned the Edge browser to the taskbar?
For testing purposes, if you double click the Edge Web Driver, does it pinned the Edge to the taskbar?
If possible, you could try to share some sample code. It can help us to understand the issue in a better way.Thanks for your understanding.

2021-04-26T01:11:23.257+00:00 The edge brwoser was on the same version as driver but now is updated to version 90(both) and the issue is still the same on version 89.0.774.77 like on 90.0.818.46. The program is simple scrapper created on python. On other browsers and their drivers like chrome/mozzila i didnt meet the same issue as on edge. Its noy pinned i guess bcs i see option 'pin to taskbar'

I try to make a test with the MS Edge 90.0.818.46 version. I try to perform some automation using the Selenium Python code and it works fine.
It did not pin the Edge browser to the taskbar.
If possible, could you please share some sample code? It can help us to check whether it is a code-related issue. -

- Could you please try to launch the web driver directly by double-clicking it? See whether it pin the Edge browser to the taskbar.
- If you try to run any other Selenium Python code with the Edge browser, does it pin the Edge browser to the taskbar?
- Just for testing purposes, could you please try to reinstall the Edge browser to see whether it helps to fix this issue?

2021-04-27T19:36:55.223+00:00 1.MSEdgeDriver was started successfully. (That information i got on CMD but didint pin to taskbar)
2. i dont have any other code for Python rather than my own code.
3. Reinstalled the MS Edge but still pin. idk its somehow helps but before pin the whole(from menu to date&time) taskbar refresh
ALSO i find as u pleased me before to check to i can pin driver to taskbar. As i said i cant but i see the MS Edge can be unpined from taskbar so its not about driver but about browser(idk how its looks before reinstalled edge bcs now i just checked it) -

What I mean by running any other code is that could you try to develop a simple Selenium Python code to automate the Edge browser and see whether you can able to produce the same issue with it?If you see the same issue with that code then I suggest you press the
ALT + SHIFT + Ikey and try to provide feedback to Microsoft regarding this issue.Thanks for your understanding.
