Recently, I landed on one of the websites that keeps giving you a spam-ware popup and keeps telling you to call a number, otherwise your computer will be locked. Unfortunately, my Edge settings keeps opening the last page I had opened previously. So, I kept getting stuck on the same spam-ware website.
To fix the issue. I launched Edge with a different URL and close the previous tabs. I am running Windows 10.
To launch Edge or any other browser from command line, follow these steps.
First, Press Windows + R. This will launch the command prompt popup windows.
Now, type microsoft-edge: followed by the URL of a website.
The following command launches c-sharpcorner.com in Edge.
microsoft-edge:http://c-sharpcorner.com
