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.

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

    Elliot Kirk It's even worse since yesterdays build (80.0.318.0), now it even starts the "new tab page" wizard multiple times.
