Visual Studio Launching Microsoft Edge

- Download latest exe from releases
- In Visual Studio open the “Browse With…” dialog (right click on a html file in solution explorer)
- Add a new program
- In the “Add Program” dialog
- Program: <path to MicrosoftEdgeLauncher.exe>
- Arguments: <leave empty>
- Friendly Name: Edge
- Once added you should now see “Microsoft Edge” in the F5 drop down
