Launching Microsoft Edge with URL from code

Question

I need to launch the Microsoft Edge browser with a specific URL from a c# application. How can I do that? What's the best way to retrieve the path where Microsoft Edge is installed and call it passing the appropriate arguments? I would like to launch it directly without installing any webdriver.

I saw this How to open URL in Microsoft Edge from the command line? but couldn't make it work from code.

Thanks.

I figured that out.

You can call the browser by using microsoft-edge:http://www.yoursite.com from the command line.

How do I open the New Tab page instead of a web page? `start microsoft-edge:about:newtab` does not seem to work as it opens Edge with the default search engine and `about:newtab` as a search term only. – Gerd Sep 23 '20 at 14:34
