Does Microsoft Edge have a --silent-launch option like Chrome/Firefox and what is the correct syntax for it?

1

I want to launch Edge in the background without it showing up a window to the user. For Chrome it would be

chrome.exe --app="www.google.com"

and a silent window would be

chrome.exe --silent-launch="www.google.com"

So how would microsoft-edge: "www.google.com" have to be changed to do the same thing?

1What is possible with Chrome, which is a Win32 application, is not typically possible with a UWP application like Edge. What exactly makes you think Edge supports a silent launch? – Ramhound – 2018-11-28T15:21:04.500

I am not sure it does and I can't seem to locate any launch parameters besides dev-tools in the documentation. – interestedparty – 2018-11-28T16:17:31.950

Microsoft Edge is already running in the background : Settings > Privacy > Background apps. What do you want more? – harrymc – 2018-11-28T18:00:10.053

I want to launch a page without it appearing on screen. – interestedparty – 2018-11-29T18:45:30.023
