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

- HotCakeXDec 02, 2020MVPThanks,
please try these one by one and after each of them check again.
0. reset flags to their default values: edge://flags/
1. temporarily disable all of your extensions, regardless of their job, restart Edge and check new tab page.
2. check your cookies settings in here: edge://settings/content/cookies
and make sure your browser is allowed to set cookies and that you are not blocking any cookies from domains related to msn.com or Microsoft.com
3. check here: edge://settings/clearBrowsingDataOnClose
and make sure nothing is being cleared after browser closes
4. if you still are experiencing the problem, create a new offline profile in here: edge://settings/profiles
and check if you can configure NTP on it.
if you can do it, then switch back to your profile and perform a reset: edge://settings/reset
(make sure sync in enabled prior to that)- GaryHammerDec 10, 2020Copper ContributorI have performed all steps.
I still have a blank new tab page.
