I have a requirement where my application is only launched via Microsoft Edge browser. Even after locating the .exe file of Microsoft edge being launched from application modeller, it is not launched. Can someone share your thoughts on this ? Appreciate your help.

Why Edge and not IE??  IE is still a maintained and supported product by microsoft and still distributed with the OS. Personally I would kick back at that requirement - Blue Prism recommends the use of IE and their browser interface only interacts with IE. I have had a 5 minute experimentation with the help of the internet.  You will need to start Edge using a command line (which you can do with the start process action in the utility environment object),  The command line will be %windir%\explorer.exe  and the arguments will be shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdget Then you will need to build logic to attach to the running instance of Edge. You will need to interface with Edge as a Windows application rather than a Browser application, and I recommend you use Blue Prism v6.2 as the new UIA interface might be better for what you want to do than the older Accessibility mode interface. There is potentially a new browser interface in the pipeline, but I have no timescale for when that might show up in the product.
