I had also faced this issue where the Edge Browser was getting opened. But it wasn't loading the website URL and got auto-closed.

I tried this with Selenium 3.0 Beta2 and Windows 10. I got this issue because I was using incorrect version of MicrosoftWebDriver.exe. When I used the correct version of the webdriver, then this issue got rectified.

I used the below steps to resolve this issue -

1. Go to Start > Settings > System > About and note down the OS Build number.

2. Download the proper version of the driver from this link - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/webdriver/

3. If the file that's downloaded is .msi, then install it to get the .exe driver. For one of the release, direct .exe can be downloaded.

Sample Script that I used is given below -

System.setProperty("webdriver.edge.driver","C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Web Driver\\MicrosoftWebDriver.exe"); //put actual location
WebDriver driver = new EdgeDriver();
driver.get("your link");
