Pinned tiles open in Edge/classic instead of Edge/Chromium
Jacques Van de Meerssche it's actually because of the underlying technology. Those "start" tiles are called "secondary tiles" and are linked to the old Edge process. We have to do work on our side to 'upgrade' them when you switch default browsers. We have that work on our roadmap, but it will take a little while to get it out - it's part of Windows, not part of the Browser itself.
MicrosoftJacques Van de Meerssche can you confirm that you mean you clicked on ... > More Tools > Pin this Page to Start ?
If so, for the time being you will want to "unpin" from start and re-create them from the new Edge browser. We are investigating this scenario, but because these are secondary tiles that are really just shortcuts to launch Edge, it's a complex problem.
Sorry the news isn't better (yet).
I did indeed use the "Pin to start" command. A lot of them were created before it was moved under the "More tools" header. When I installed Edge/C though I initially kept Edge/classic as my default browser since I wanted to play with it a while before going full bore. Since I liked it I changed the default to Edge/C after a couple of days. Could that be why the tiles were bot flagged for Edge/C?johnjansen

- What would the reason be that the tiles work for some users and not others?
