Is it advisable or even possible to protect microsoft edge in identity protection part of wsa like chrome and ie?

Hey Daniel, You must have both instances of Edge in the protected apps!

No I had both and I had Snagit Open and Protected as well so false sense of protection until I closed Snagit and the Padlock disappeared with Edge still open.

Sheri.............see my reply to Daniel. You must have both instances of Edge in Protected Application.

But it doesn't protect Edge as you open Edge no Yellow Padlock on the Tray Icon!

Have a look!

That's what I was worried about. I had one already listed in Protected Applications and I cannot add manually the second one. I am going to do a clean reinstall. Do you think that would work? Would I be able to manually put second instance in?

 

Thanks!

No need to add now! But you should be able to add many things to protect as I have, Browsers, Outlook, Word, Adobe Reader and Snagit all Protected.

 

Ok great! I will do the same! Thanks!
I've done a clean reinstall and this is what I havce so far.

 

Looks good Does the padlock show when you launch Edge?

I'm waiting to see as well! How about you Lyle?

Shows on my task bar!
Like this?

The padlock shows on my taskbar when Edge is open and the active window, though it does not matter much to me.  I do not use Edge except to test things to make replies here  :S

Yes it does!!

YES! And has been for more than a month.
With just Edge open and no other Browsers?
Wonderful!
With just Edge open and nothing else.

I have been testing Edge with start page, as my default browser, for a few weeks now and don't find toooo much fault with it so far. But does have limitations.

Dam, it does work if you add both files to ID Shield......! This is messing with my head!
