Set Microsoft Edge as default browser with PowerShelll-CodePudding

I'm doing a script that change the default browser to the Microsoft Edge and I have done this:

  function Set-DefaultBrowser {
Add-Type -AssemblyName 'System.Windows.Forms'
Start-Process $env:windir\system32\control.exe -LoadUserProfile -Wait -ArgumentList '/name Microsoft.DefaultPrograms /page pageDefaultProgram\pageAdvancedSettings?pszAppName=MSEdgeHTM'
Sleep 10
[System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys]::SendWait("{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB}{TAB} {ENTER}{ENTER} ")
}
Set-DefaultBrowser

But i don't like that is like a person where doing it opening the menu and that stuff I would like to do it like without showing it like that, it is posible to do it that way?

My recommendation is to set the Regkeys that control default browser. Here is a link to a post showing how to do it with Chrome

You'll notice the command needed but change the app name to that of Edge

Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\https\UserChoice' -Name ProgId -Value 'ChromeHTML' Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Associations\UrlAssociations\http\UserChoice' -Name ProgId -Value 'ChromeHTML'
