So i'm using this code but if the web is HTTP it opens on IE instead of Edge.

var ieOptions = new InternetExplorerOptions();
        ieOptions.EdgeExecutablePath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe";
        IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);

        driver.Url = "some http web";

is there a way to force it on edge?

You need to download Microsoft Edge Driver and use that. The name of the class your code currently uses should give you a hint about why Internet Explorer is being opened:

IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(ieOptions);
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It is right in the name: InternetExplorerDriver. You are using the web driver for Internet Explorer. If you want to automate Edge, you need to use EdgeDriver.

I think the curious thing is that Edge is launched when loading an HTTPS URL when using InternetExplorerDriver. I suspect there are Windows Policies installed that override Internet Explorer causing Edge to be launched instead.

Create InternetExplorerDriver and pass the InternetExplorerOptions:

var options = new InternetExplorerOptions
{
    AttachToEdgeChrome = true,
    EdgeExecutablePath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft/Edge/Application/msedge.exe"
};

var driver = new InternetExplorerDriver(options);
driver.Url = "https://example.com";

This will open Edge in IE mode... If you don't need IE mode you need to use EdgeDriver instead of InternetExplorerDriver and EdgeOption instead of InternetExplorerOptions
