We are in the same situation. Everything works just fine, it's just that Edge opens minimized in the taskbar.

We are setting Edge to open automatically:
<App DesktopAppPath="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" rs5:AutoLaunch="true" />

Does anyone got this problem solved? If it's not supported, please refer me to the MS docs.

Hi @A.B.J ,

Please try adding rs5:AutoLaunchArguments to start Microsoft Edge in maximized window:

rs5:AutoLaunchArguments="--start-maximized"

If it does not work for you, please consider using AppUserModelId to start Microsoft Edge instead of DesktopAppPath. The AUMID for the Microsoft Edge Stable channel is Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge.Stable_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MSEDGE
