How to launch Microsoft Edge to a specific Workspace?

Question

How can I launch Microsoft Edge directly to a specific shared Edge Workspace, ie what is the command line switch?

Preferably I would like to launch two workspaces at once; more preferably I would like to launch them on to the last desktop region that they were arranged on.

I use "{msedgelocation} --restore-last-session" currently but it does not restore Workspaces.

Thank you.

I had a go with "--window-workspace" (from this list of Edge command line switches) using the name of the Workspace and separately with an ID I found (from the share URL). I also tried launching the Workspace share URL in the normal way using Explorer, but that didn't work it just opens a blank browser.

FYI general information about Edge Workspaces.

Hi @Paul Jefferies ,

Currently, it is not supported to directly launch Edge Workspaces using command line. You need to open a workspace from Edge browser.

This command start msedge --restore-last-session can launch all closed tabs last time.

We recommend that you could submit a feature request to the Dev Team by sending feedback (Press Alt+Shift+I) in Microsoft Edge.

Thanks for your understanding.

I believe you can use: msedge.exe" --launch-workspace=$workspaceID The ID is located in the workspace cache file: $env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Profile #\Workspaces\WorkspacesCache
