Follow the below steps in this order to achieve this with the edge browser on a windows machine.
- Right-click on your Desktop and choose New > Shortcut.
- In the location field, paste the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --app="https://22175.humly.cloud/hcp/way-finding/4" --start-fullscreen
If Edge is installed in a different location, update the path to the executable. Also, replace the Wayfinding URL with your own wayfinding URL.
- Click Next.
- Name the shortcut (e.g. Humly Wayfinding).
- Click Finish.

1. Press Win + R, to open up Run.
2. Enter the following: shell:startup.
3. Press Enter—this opens the Startup folder.
4. Copy and paste your shortcut on your Desktop into this folder.
5. Restart your computer.
The shortcut will now automatically launch Edge in full screen every time Windows starts.
