MS Edge Version: 114.0.1823.37

For some reason, I no longer have the Web Select option in the right-click context menu. I still have Web Capture, but Web Select is no longer there. Did MS remove this feature, or is it a bug?

    1, Make a shortcut for Edge (On your desktop or startmenu) ,

    2, Right-click, select properties,

    3, In "shortcut" tab, input " --enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect" at the end of Target textbox.

    For me, my full Target textbox is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect

    4, Reboot, then open Edge, press Ctrl+Shift+X

    I'm running Version 120.0.2210.7 (Official build) stable app, beta channel (64-bit)

    After doing all the steps mentioned in this thread, do this ⬇️

    End Task the Microsoft Edge process in Task Manager 😂

    Unfortunately, you need to do this every boot. Can't confirm yet.

    My Edge version is 119.0.2151.58 same as yours, I have tried what you shared method
    ![](https://learn-attachment.microsoft.com/api/attachments/491ebdaf-283f-4664-85d6-fb166d19789f?platform=QnA

    Click Properties -> Change Target as "FilePath" --enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect and click Apply, then OK.

    E.g., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect

    "C:\Users\Resolver\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge Beta\Application\msedge.exe" --enable-features=msEdgeAreaSelect

    and

    Then open edge-> type edge://flags/#edge-screenshot in URL bar, then change the Microsoft Edge Split Screen and Microsoft Edge Screenshot from Default/Disabled to Enabled as mentioned in below screenshot.

    but it doesn't work in my Edge

    What version of Edge are you running? I'm curious as to why it worked for you and is not working for me or others like Iain. For reference, I'm running Edge Version 119.0.2151.58 (Official build) (64-bit), and I've tried this fix on two different machines (I'm not sure what the other machine version is as I'm not at home at the moment).
