Hi,

 

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

 

I appreciate your interest in new Microsoft Edge. I understand that you want to use command line to use Microsoft Edge. Let me help you with the details.

 

To open Microsoft Edge using Command Prompt refer the steps mentioned below:

 

  1. Type command prompt in the search bar on the Taskbar.

  2. Right click on the command prompt icon and select Run as administrator.

  3. Type the command start msedge and hit Enter.

 

To open Microsoft Edge in InPrivate mode, use the command: start msedge –inprivate

 

To open a website, use the command: start msedge www.microsoft.com (you can type any website name)

 

To restore the previous session, use the command: start msedge --restore-last-session  

 

However, if you are a developer, we do have a dedicated forum for Edge developers, let me point you in the right direction. I would suggest you to post your query in Microsoft Tech Community, where you will find developers to assist you with appropriate details.

 

Regards,
