Are you looking for a Kiosk like scenario?
What type of users are they?
Are they guest or known users?

Hi

no its ordinary users.
We want after user in morning log to computer, automaticly start MS Edge with our intranet site on only one tab.

But we want save users recently closed tabs.

I can do this with cmd : start ms edge https://ourintranet.com but this open all users tabs.

Hi @Belan Marek

Have you set the browser Settings-> On startup-> Continue where you left off like below?

If so, the browser will restore tabs when you reopen Edge, like the situation you mention in your question.

If you only want to open one tab with your intranet site, you can choose Open a new tab in browser setting.

please try read what i write.

Imagine. You have you session. You close edge.
When you star edge, session is restored.
But what i want is:
User login to computer and we start NEW browser without user session.
BUT WE NEED let user session untached. SO when user close intranet and start edge his session is restored.

Hi @Belan Marek

According to your description, what you want can be achieved using different Edge profiles.

For example, users use profile 1 which Continue where you left off on startup, you use profile 2 which Open a new tab on startup.

You can start a new browser session with a new profile using the command like below (the profile number can be different as long as it's not the user's profile):

start msedge https://ourintranet.com --profile-directory="Profile 99"

It will open Edge with a new profile with only one tab of your intranet site. Users can switch to their own profile to have the restored tabs.
