Check List

• [X] The App appears in the system tray
• [ ] Running microsoft-edge:https://google.com redirects successfully

Describe the bug\
I often leave a few pages open in Edge on another monitor. Redirect doesn't work in this case and the links from say the lock screen open in Edge instead. I understand if this is intended or can't redirected, but would be nice.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open Edge.
2. Press Win + R
3. Enter "microsoft-edge:https://google.com"
4. Press Ok.

⚠️ File Upload ⚠️

1. Leave edge open
2. Open Powershell
3. Run gwmi Win32_Process | where { $_.name -like "msedge*.exe"} | Select-Object CommandLine | Format-Table -Wrap -AutoSize | Out-File $env:LOCALAPPDATA\MSEdgeRedirect\logs\edge.txt
4. Open %localappdata%\MSEdgeRedirect\logs
5. Attach the log files

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Windows Version: 21H1
• Windows Build: 19043.1415

I have two possible recommendations:

• Use an InPrivate Window for those tabs
• Uninstall MSEdgeRedirect and Reinstall with Admin Rights, Select Active Mode

Active Mode is a lot more reliable when there's an existing edge window. This is because the command line parameters get lost when they're added as a new tab to an existing window.

I'm working on improving this but I can't be too agressive with monitoring or CPU usage noteably increases. Perhaps I'll add a detection rate slider to allow people to make the choice of accuracy vs cpu usage themselves.
