Edge Not opening sites in its opened browser

Posted on by lionelh Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I hope to get some advice and help.

I am using currently Edge and browsing my sites.

I have power automate to Launch a new Microsoft Edge and navigate it to http://www.google.com and to store instance into %Browser%

After that i'd automate it to go to www.cnn.com by using "go to web page" and using web browser instance %Browser%

However when it goes to the web page above, if i have an existing Edge open, it uses my existing open Edge browser and not the New Microsoft Edge it opened? So the google.com site is just stagnant and open there.

I would like it to open using the new page. Not sure why it is using the existing browers i opened. Any help or advice would be appreaciated

Thanks,

So i did also run a test. Chrome works but not Edge for me. Edge will use any previous edge browser opened whereas Chrome would use it's current browser instance even though multiple chrome browsers opened

Hello @lionelh

I think this would help you.

You can change launch mode option to launch new instance!

Thanks @Anonymous , I am already using the above and had selected "Launch new Instance". It just does not use the same instance after i use the "go to Web page". It uses another already existing opened edge browser
