Edge insider 79.0.309.0 always opens in a new tab page

Hi,

Since today's build Edge insider always opens a new tab page as the first open page/tab, even when that's not configured in the startup options.

Best regards,
Dennis.

    I suspect it has something to do with the newly, automatically created "Work" profile in Microsoft Edge, which I renamed "Work (domain)", and my manually created "Work" profile in Microsoft Edge. One profile is using domain\user as account, the other is using the UPN, user@domain.com account. Both are the same account. It's however not possible for me te delete/remove the automatically created profile in Microsoft Edge.
  • Hi,
    Could you also mention which option you've selected for Edge startup?
    edge://settings/onStartup

      - "Open a specific page or pages", with two pages defined. It opens, on startup, from left to right, a new tab, first defined page, second defined page.

        Hi dmutsaers, can you plesae verify that you have no other Microsoft Edge windows open?  If you have another Microsoft Edge window open when you select open New Window, it treats it like a New Tab rather than a new instance of the application.  Thanks - Elliot
