Where is Microsoft Edge located in Windows 10? How do I launch it?

Make a new shortcut for it

Correct link is:

%windir%\explorer.exe shell:Appsfolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe!MicrosoftEdge

Then add it's icon from its own .exe if you don't like the default look.

 %windir%\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe

Microsoft Edge should be in the taskbar. It is the blue 'e' icon.

If you do not have that or have unpinned it, you just need to repin it. Unfortunately the MicrosoftEdge.exe can not be run by double clicking and creating a normal shortcut will not work. You may have found it at this location.

What you need to do is just search for Edge in the Start menu or search bar. Once you see Microsoft Edge, right click on it and Pin to taskbar.

To create a new shortcut from the existing shortcut file, you can also enter this path into file explorer:

shell:Appsfolder

Scroll to Microsoft Edge, then and drag or right click to create a new shortcut. I used this method to put Edge in the startup folder.
