    Hello all,

    I am trying to run Microsoft edge browser in hidden mode.  below is the script i am using for this .

    Start-Process -FilePath ($Env:WinDir + "\explorer.exe") -ArgumentList "shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge" 

    Start-Sleep -s 4
    Get-Process MicrosoftEdge -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
    Where-Object { $_.StartTime -and (Get-Date).AddMinutes(-5) -lt $_.StartTime } |
    Stop-Process

    But the Edge browser is appearing and closed while running the script. can some one help how to do it in hidden mode without opening the edge browser

    thanks,

    Hello,

    You can not do that with containerized UWP apps. Why you need such functionality? do you research AppService provided by Edge maybe it contains all functionality you need.
