This release allows you to choose a Microsoft Edge version to launch when you have multiple versions installed. Fixes issue #2.

For example, if you have Microsoft Edge Stable and Beta version installed, the program will let you choose one of them to launch.

The choice will be remembered, so it won't ask you a second time. It will ask you again if you install another different version or the selected version gets uninstalled. Or, you can hold CTRL while starting the program to make the version selection dialog show again.

You can also pass a path to a certain msedge.exe file as the first command line argument to the program, and the program will launch the specified msedge.exe. Other command line arguments will be passed as-is to the launched Microsoft Edge process.


Download the version that matches the bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) of the Microsoft Edge on your system.

Extract it and put the two files in the same directory.

When you want to launch Microsoft Edge (when Edge isn't running), instead of launching it directly (through task bar, the Start menu, desktop icon, etc.), you run the extracted EdgeWindowTabManagerBlock.exe file, and let it launch Edge for you.

The WindowTabManager will be blocked during this whole browsing session. As long as Edge is running (there's at least one Edge window), launching Edge for a second time will just open a new window in the same browsing session, and the WindowTabManager will still be blocked.
So you only need to make sure that the first Edge instance is launched by this program.

Note that in this version, launching Edge by running this program manually is the only way this program can work.
If you launch Edge by any other method, either through task bar, the Start menu, desktop icon, or by opening a link when Edge is the default browser, or by opening a file associated with Edge, this program will not work.
