Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location: %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe \AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Favoritesįind your shortcut within the favorites folder, then right click it, then click "Send to" and then "Send to desktop (create shortcut)". (To do this, click the star icon in the address bar once you're on the page you want.) In Microsoft Edge, add to the Favorites list the web page for which you want a shortcut.

Okay, I finally figured out how to make a desktop shortcut that will open a specific website in Microsoft Edge, even if Edge is not your default browser.
