Two different Session to be opened thru Chromium Edge browser

Mahesh Prajapati 1

I have specific requirement to open two different sessions thru Chromium Edge Browser. When I launch URL first time it should not launch in -inprivate mode but user can allowed to launch another session for the same URL in second time using -inprivate mode.

Chromium Edge browser can only allow one instance in -inprivate mode hence we can not use Shortcut. We also don't want to have two short cuts to be used by the users (one in normal mode and another is in inprivate mode).

We can use Powershell, any console application to launch the URL.

Note: after Launching URL in first time we have some values stored in cookies as well.

Hi @Mahesh Prajapati

Do you mean you want to launch Edge using PowerShell in normal mode, then users open the same site in InPrivate mode manually? If so, you can use start microsoft-edge:http://www.yoursite.com in PowerShell to launch Edge with specific site easily.

Do you have any problems when doing so? If I misunderstanding anything, could you please elaborate more detailly about what you need and what issue you meet so that we can have a better understanding about it?

This is not a supported scenario.
You could add multiple profiles and each profiles would have their own sessions but you only have one InPrivate session.
You may try one InPrivate session and one Guest session instead.
You may use the feedback option in the Microsoft Edge to share feedback you want to have multiple InPrivate browsing sessions and make sure justify why you want this feature.

actually it is not like we wanted to launch two Inprivate session. I just wanted to Launch first session on normal mode and if we have any way to findout that session then second session in Inperson mode so that it will be a unique instance creating.

Hi @Mahesh Prajapati
You can manually launch another session in InPrivate mode, but you can't directly continue the first session in the InPrivate mode.

You couldn't switch a current session in the normal to the InPrivate mode.
Would you mind explain why you are looking for this functionality or share some example, so we might be able to give you an workaround.
