New Tab Page Not Configurable
I have had an issue where my New Tab Page is not configurable.
I get only the mountain lake, Edge logo and a search bar.
There is not any other control on the page.
Settings->New tab page->Customize only takes me back to the non-configurable new tab page.
This is both on the Dev and public versions. It has been this way for quite some time now.
I have no/zero tab related extensions.
Any idea how to reset the page/browser to be configurable?

- Hi,
in my experience it usually happens for 2 reasons:
1. Edge can't connect to the Internet
2. a policy is set for Edge to do that. all the applied policies can be viewed from here:

The first reason isn't likely. Why would I be using Edge if it can't connect to the Internet?
Second reason is non-specific. A policy? Which one(s) would you look at?
No, this answer does nothing for the issue.
- Because you might be using Edge on a workstation that is not connected to the Internet, only intranet and local websites.
there are a couple of policies I think, If i saw which ones are being applied to your Edge I could tell you faster
here is the complete list:

I can check later for you to find them
