I want to open the new Edge browser (the one that runs on Chromium) through CMD/PowerShell.
How can I do it?
1 Answer
Did you try Start-Process -FilePath "c:\somepath\edge.exe" ?

Can you explain that further? Why should one try that?

?! I mean, isn't it obvious? He wants to start a program (edge), and the easiest way to do that is Start-Process, which has options whether or not to create a window, wait for it to close etc etc

"Obvious" should mean different things to you (reputation 2700+) and to Shahar (rep. 1). And I was answering to you :-) In any case, when Shahar tells us if he tried that or not, I'll be able to help him further.

Well, even if answers on SO should primarily help the OP to solve his specific problem, they are also meant to help others later. And regardless of the global reputation, I don't have a clue about Powershell, so if I wanted to learn it and stumble about a similar problem, I'd love to find an explanation about such code that helps me to understand it and not simply copy+paste it

@NicoHaase If you "don't have a clue about PowerShell", then maybe you should consider that when coming to the conclusion of "I don't understand what this answer is saying". I am familiar with PowerShell (though only, say, a 2 out of 10 skill-wise) and this is very obviously a PowerShell cmdlet that is intended to start a new application process based on a provided filepath. It is clear to me how this answers the question asked.
