Step 1: Run Windows Settings and go to Apps.

I did some troubleshooting on one of my laptops, and found the only-thing that would-work was to create a new profile, which is not ideal as then all settings (such as per-site permissions and zoom-levels) get lost. If your Microsoft Edge stops working, you can try repairing or resetting it. (The “Home button” URL setting, however, is still working fine). Now, whenever I open Edge, it disregards whatever I set as my “startup page”, and just opens to the “New Tab Page” instead. Both run Windows 10 21H2, with Edge (Stable Channel), version. However recently on both of my laptops, this has stopped working.

I have set the Google UK URL there to open when I launch Edge. If you go to Menu (…) > Settings > “Start, home, and new tabs” there is a heading titled “When Microsoft Edge starts” and under that is a setting labelled “Open these pages:”. Is anyone else having an issue recently where their “startup page” in Edge is not-working?
