When you download and open some types of files, Edge may launch document viewers or other types of applications in Application Guard mode. It features a blue Edge “e” logo with a gray shield icon over it. The Application Guard window also has a separate taskbar icon from the normal Microsoft Edge browser icon. You can open additional browser windows from here-even additional InPrivate windows for private browsing-and they’ll also have the orange “Application Guard” text. The orange “Application Guard” text at the top left corner of the window informs you that the browser window is secured with Application Guard.
A new, separate Microsoft Edge browser window opens.
