edge dev start search page
If you open edge://settings/onStartup, you will see the following control. You can add one or more pages here that open automatically whenever you open the browser. This does not change the New Tab Page that shows up when you click the + sign to open a new tab.
Settings -> On Startup -> Open a specific page
Seems to be the new tab page, whenever I open a new tab, I get that page.
Tried always to change the tab but to no effect
increase "whenever I open a new tab, I get that page."
Yes, whenever we open a new tab, we all get that page. However, after you change the settings to "open a specific page, shut down all instances of Edge and launch it again. When you first launch Edge, it should open to the specific page, but just for the first tab, it creates. All further tabs are Search tabs.
However, there is a known bug with that function where it behaves just like yours does. However, that bug is very fleeting. It hits when it feels like it. From what I understand, Microsoft is trying to find a way to replicate it reliably so they can pinpoint the problem and fix it.
However, thanks to you, I have found a new bug that I will bring up. When I launch the first new instance, it gives me the right web page (most of the time but not always). But launching a second instance does not bring up the wanted page. This behaviour did not exist with Edge Classic.
Yes thanks for the feedback, seems there are still bugs there. If I set the tab to open a url then click the home page it opens my set page that I want, so I will persevere until they fix it.
I don't know if this is linked, but the clear history advanced seems to sit on clearing forever.
