windows 10 - How to open URL in Microsoft Edge from the command line?

Question

I need to open URL in Microsoft Edge (on Windows 10). When I invoke

start shell:AppsFolderMicrosoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge http://www.google.com

then Microsoft Edge is started correctly but it doesn't open the given URL (www.google.com, in this case). It opens Bing search where the given URL is used as a search term instead.

Answer 1

The following method should work via Command Prompt (cmd):

start microsoft-edge:http://www.cnn.com
