How can I find the Microsoft Edge version on Windows 10 in powershell?

I've searched through the SOFTWARE\Classes and SOFTWARE\Microsoft subkeys, but couldn't find anything related to "spartan" or "edge". Given that Edge is still very new, there really isn't much information about this yet.

As an example, this is how I gather the information about the Internet Explorer Version via the registry on a remote machine:

$ieVersion=[Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey]::OpenRemoteBaseKey('LocalMachine', $args[0]).OpenSubKey('SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer').GetValue('SvcVersion')

The AppX Cmdlets don't work for me. The version is always older than the real version the machine uses. This reads the file info of your edge installations.

# local
(Get-Item "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge*\Application\msedge.exe").VersionInfo

# remote
Invoke-Command -ScriptBlock {(Get-Item "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge*\Application\msedge.exe").VersionInfo} -ComputerName remote-pc

You may see multiple versions of Edge installed via Appx-Packages. I would recommend this approach:

$EdgeExe = Get-ItemPropertyValue 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\msedge.exe' "(default)"
$version = (Get-Item $EdgeExe).VersionInfo.ProductVersion

I tested using two commands back to back. I ran from an elevated PowerShell session New-PSSession -ComputerName "The remote PC I was testing this on." and then once the connection was made I ran the Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.MicsrosoftEdge and it pulled down the information, but I think it was more build information. You can also filter it down to version using the Pipe character. The full command looked like this. Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | select-object Version

I found this forum and others that lead me to some of the other switches and parameters I did not know about.

How can I find the Microsoft Edge version on Windows 10 in powershell?

I was trying to find an alternate way of remotely finding out what browser version it was. Trying to verify if it is updating regularly. I am still learning. I hope this helps. I found another article that shows me exactly what I am looking for differently without powershell. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/161325-how-find-version-microsoft-edge-chromium-installed.html#option2

Get-AppxPackage -Name *MicrosoftEdge.* | Foreach Version

cmd:

powershell "Get-AppxPackage -Name *MicrosoftEdge.* | Foreach Version"

$productPath = $Env:WinDir + "\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_*\MicrosoftEdge.exe" 
If(Test-Path $productPath) { 
    $productProperty = Get-ItemProperty -Path $productPath 
    Write-Host $productProperty.VersionInfo.ProductVersion 
} 
Else { 
    Write-Host "Not find Microsoft Edge." 
}

Use the Get-AppxPackage command:

Get-AppxPackage -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach Version

The package name is valid on build 10240 but if you are on an earlier build, it might be different. If the above doesn't find the package try -Name *Edge* or -Name *Spartan*.
