Pin Website to Taskbar Using Edge in Windows 10

This post tells you how to pin a website to the Taskbar using the Microsoft Edge web browser.

Pin Website to Taskbar Using Edge

Microsoft Edge (Chromium)

1. Open Microsoft Edge (Chromium) and open a webpage.
2. Click the ellipsis (three dots) icon on the top right.
3. Click More tools, and click Pin to taskbar.
   
   Note that in Edge Chromium version 87 and higher you’ll be able to pin a website to the Start screen in Windows 10. Starting with the new canary build 87.0.661.0, this option has been available.

The pinned taskbar shortcut, when clicked, will launch the command-line that looks like below:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\86.0.622.43\msedge.exe" --launch-tile --profile-directory=Default --app-id=mgdchfjjlpabbhlmihibnckjnkdlaled --app-url=https://www.winhelponline.com /tileid App:MSEdge.mgdchfjjlpkjnkdlaled.UserData.Default

Old Microsoft Edge

Starting with the Fall Creators Update, Microsoft Edge (old) has the capability to pin websites to the Taskbar. Here is how to do that:

1. Open Microsoft Edge and visit a webpage.
2. Click the ellipsis (three dots) icon on the top right.
3. Click Pin this page to the taskbar.(This option is located just above the “Pin this page to Start” option.)
   The website address/shortcut is now Pinned to the taskbar. The shortcut target has the following prefix:

   microsoft-edge:?taskbarPinurl=

   

In addition to the above feature, with the Fall Creators Update, Microsoft Edge lets you browse in full-screen mode by pressing the F11 key.
