Edge Skinning or Not Depends on How I Closed It

Friday, March 17, 2023 by DaveRI | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Windows10 v22H2 OS Build 19045.2728 per WinVersion
Edge v111.0.1661.44 (Official build) (64-bit)

I use the modified shortcut to launch Edge:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" -disable-windows10-custom-titlebar

I don't think I've seen this mentioned. I have discovered that if I close Edge using the Window Close Button in the upper right, the next time I launch Edge using the shortcut it does not skin. If I close Edge using the Edge Menu "Close Microsoft Edge" command, which I typically use, the next time I launch Edge using the shortcut it does skin.

I've checked this repeatedly with a few different skins, including Corporate and Diamond, and it has been completely consistent. I don't know how long it may have been this way.

It does not seem to matter with Chrome.

Thought it worth passing along. Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Try disable Startup boost. That should help make sure Edge not stay loaded in the background when you close it.

Thanks

Yes indeed, that does seem to have fixed it.  I wouldn't have thought to try that in a million years.  Thanks Basj.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. But it still work on my system. Refer screenshot below. Have you done the requirement to make Edge be skinable by Windowblinds?

Thanks
