BobRJP  As dftf-wip noted, the 21H1 Windows 10 update appears to have screwed up Startup tabs when paired with the newest Stable version of Edge (Version 91.0.864.37).  In addition to the message boards, Bleeping Computer ran an article on it today, with others soon to follow, I suspect. 

 

The bug is happening on all of my Windows 10 computers running 21H1 in combination with Edge Version 91.0.864.37, and showed up immediately after I upgraded.  The bug is not happening on my husband's two computers running 20H2 in combination with Edge Version 91.0.864.37.  The bug is also not happening on my Linux computers running Edge Version 91.0.864.37, so the bug seems to be 21H1 specific.

 

I imagine that Microsoft will put out a bug patch relatively soon.  I wish Microsoft would test updates more thoroughly before foisting them on users. I guess our only consolation is that the Startup bug isn't nearly as show-stopping as Google's recent screw up with a Chrome update that borked Chrome entirely on Windows 10 and Linux computers.

I don't know for sure it's only an issue on 21H1... on Reddit, there are quite a few users reporting issues on 20H2 (though I've not seen any so-far for 2004 or older, and no reports at-all from Windows 8.1 or 7 users either).
