This release still requires you to manually start this program to let it launch Edge for you.

But now it can detect whether Microsoft Edge is currently running, and if it is running with WindowTabManager, this program will prompt you to exit Edge first.

In addition, if the Startup Boost feature causes some Edge processes to run in the background, this program will terminate them automatically.


Download the version that matches the bitness (32-bit or 64-bit) of the Microsoft Edge on your system.

Extract it and put the two files in the same directory.

When you want to launch Microsoft Edge (when Edge isn't running), instead of launching it directly (through task bar, the Start menu, desktop icon, etc.), you run the extracted EdgeWindowTabManagerBlock.exe file, and let it launch Edge for you.

The WindowTabManager will be blocked during this whole browsing session. As long as Edge is running (there's at least one Edge window), launching Edge for a second time will just open a new window in the same browsing session, and the WindowTabManager will still be blocked.
So you only need to make sure that the first Edge instance is launched by this program.

Note that in this version, launching Edge by running this program manually is the only way this program can work.
If you launch Edge by any other method, either through task bar, the Start menu, desktop icon, or by opening a link when Edge is the default browser, or by opening a file associated with Edge, this program will not work.
