Hey Daniel, You must have both instances of Edge in the protected apps!
No I had both and I had Snagit Open and Protected as well so false sense of protection until I closed Snagit and the Padlock disappeared with Edge still open.

But it doesn't protect Edge as you open Edge no Yellow Padlock on the Tray Icon!

Have a look!

That's what I was worried about. I had one already listed in Protected Applications and I cannot add manually the second one. I am going to do a clean reinstall. Do you think that would work? Would I be able to manually put second instance in?
 
Thanks!

No need to add now! But you should be able to add many things to protect as I have, Browsers, Outlook, Word, Adobe Reader and Snagit all Protected.

The padlock shows on my taskbar when Edge is open and the active window, though it does not matter much to me.  I do not use Edge except to test things to make replies here  :S

With just Edge open and nothing else.
I have been testing Edge with start page, as my default browser, for a few weeks now and don't find toooo much fault with it so far. But does have limitations.
