Reported to Smiley, twice.

Have told this to Mr. Smiley twice and now, will share it with you. Dev is, STILL, opening upon Startup to New tab. I say "still" because it is set to Startup to MSN Canada. Build 75.0.139.0, now,...

Tom,

I have reached out to MS Edge Support.  I'll let you know what comes of that if, you like (?).  Niether Canary nor Dev have been opening on Startup the specific page to which they are set.  Just checked both, again, before writing this.

Cheers,
Drew

Drew1903  and NicolSD 

 

I've not had the trouble on any of my computers.  Nichol also has the issue, and that eliminates a lot of variables.

 

A possible variable that comes to mind, if you want to check it out:  The way that I set Startup pages is to set the startup tabs up the way I want them (I use a different setup on each of the computers) and then I click on the "Use all open tabs" button.  I don't use the "Add a new page" button and then add the page URL.  I wonder if that would make a difference.  If so, that would help MES isolate the issue for replication.

 

It is an interesting issue, the kind of anomaly that drives support people crazy.

    I have had more discussion with Edge Tech.  They had asked me to see what behavior there would be in an Added Profile.  Since, I, already, have 2 acc'ts, mostly using one in Canary & the other in Dev, the excercise became unnecessary.  I told that mine isn't an isolated case.  He then said, he knew that & that, indeed, one of his co-workers has the same issue.  Anyway, they are lloking into this deeply in an effort to resolve it.  Will keep y'all updated.

    Cheers,
    Drew

      @tomscharbach @NicolSD 

      OMG!  Now, both Dev & Canary are opening as assigned or correctly, repeatedly.  That poor tech is going to think I'm on bad acid 🤪😵🥴  What is yours doing, Nicol? (now)  Maybe, they fixed it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Cheers,
      Drew

        Drew1903 I don't really use "Open a specific page or pages." I only tried it for a while to confirm your bug. That's all. However, I just gave it a look (76.0.145.0) and I see a new option: "Set to all currently open tabs". I don't remember seeing that one before. Isn't it new?

         

        Anyway, I just tried it with just one specific page. The bug is still there for me. Edge Chromium opened with the New Tab page. However, I tried two different things and got different results.

         

        1- Had two instances of Edge open

        2- Changed the startup preference to Open a specific page (entered a page)

        3- Launched a 3rd instance

        4- It opened with the New Tab page

         

        1- Closed all instances of Edge

        2- Launched a first instance

        3- I got the specific page I had requested

        4- Launched a second instance

        5- It opened with the New Tab page.
