Trying to launch Microsoft Edge Chromium in a new process for Java App-V

Question

We are trying to migrate from internet explorer to Microsoft Edge chromium. We have a couple applications which require Java, we used to have internet explorer web application shortcuts using the "-noframemerging" paramater so we can sideload Java App-V for certain applications.

I can't seem to find a way to get this to work in Microsoft Edge Chromium, the problem is if a user already has a Microsoft Edge chromium window open and he opens the web application shortcut which require java, java app-v won't be loaded cause it will open in the same process that already exist.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Answer 1

Start Edge with a separate profile ( --profile-directory ) Create the profile folder before starting Edge.

Answer 2

If you are trying to isolate applications in each process then I suggest you can have a test with --site-per-process command-line switch.

You can refer to the steps below to apply the command line switch.

1. Create a shortcut of the MS Edge Chromium browser.
2. Then try to right-click on the shortcut and go to properties.
3. Go to the Shortcut tab.
4. In the target field, try to add --site-per-process after the path of Edge exe. make sure there is one space between the path and this argument.

5. Click on the OK button.

You can try to test this approach and let us know about your testing results.
