Google home page not opening on start up of Edge
dosi70 There are two workarounds you can try:
Workaround 1: Change your search-provider to Bing
In the Address Bar, go to edge://settings/searchEngines and then click the "..." at the end of the Bing option and choose "Make default". Close all Edge windows. Next time you open a new Edge window, your startup-page should be working again.
Workaround 2: Add the site(s) into the shortcut for Edge (applies to Windows users only)
Find a shortcut to the Edge browser (for example, on your desktop), then right-click it and choose "Properties". In the Target box, right at the end (after msedge.exe") leave a single space, and then type the web-address you want Edge to start with. Click OK, and use that shortcut now to launch Edge.
NOTE: if you want Edge to load more-than one site when it starts, just leave a single space between each website address, for example:
msedge.exe" https://www.google.co.uk https://www.bbc.co.uk
Please make sure, that on picture 3 > "manage search engines" all sites exept google are deleted.
Also check that the adress is written right.

My answer helped you? Don't forget to leave a like. Also mark the answer as solved when your problem is solved. 🙂
The problem is (for me too!) that there's NO more 'Homepage' except the one they've chosen for us.
No amount of resetting or configuring can get mutts.com to open with Edge upon startup.
It happened quite suddenly, around Noon May 29. Worked in the morning I think?
EDIT:
dftf-wip (below) offers a solution that works for me: (It still opens the Start Tab, but separately)
Find a shortcut to the Edge browser (for example, on your desktop), then right-click it and choose "Properties". In the Target box, right at the end (after msedge.exe") leave a single space, and then type the web-address you want Edge to start with. Click OK, and use that shortcut now to launch Edge.
