Windows 10 1903 'Welcome to Windows'
It might be something that goes all the way back to the original Chromium Prime. This is how it looks on Google Canary Chrome (77.0.3852.0) which like Microsoft is the one step up from the original Chromium Prime version that they're open sourcing from.

Yeah, this is how it looks on Chromium (77.0.3853.0) which is the prime "right off the truck" version that comes before the Canary builds. It looks the same. Although interesting that that Original Edge doesn't have that issue...what about Internet Explorer? Lets find out!

But how can you get back to the "Welcome to Windows" page? https://www.msn.com/spartan/dhpwinfre?country=gb&locale=en-gb&imgh=170&imgw=300&bcnt=3&templatetype=1.1&placement=353689&useIris=1&tcContentId=a51e1cc323404b0782ddbdcdbf573894&tcContentPath=//item[0]&asid=a51e1cc323404b0782ddbdcdbf573894&poptin=&oemname=TOSHIBA&oemid=TOSHIBA&devfam=WINDOWS.DESKTOP&devosver=10.0.18362.239&ossku=PROFESSIONAL&arch=X64&cdmver=10.0.18362.1&fosver=14393&prevosver=16299&isu=0&tl=4&msa=&disphorzres=1600&dispvertres=900&nettype=WIFI&metered=FALSE&moid=&topt=&localid=w:F22B750D-657A-A8FA-2C4B-1D2C1E83FF40&auid=&lo=2080514&tsu=6&flsid=&osbuild=&waasring=&sc-sigimg=&OCID=ems.display.welcomeexperience&CCID=5B1EED13E2E645289FFD9242F65B9CDA&market=GB&enableregulatorypsm=0&enablecpsm=0&ishostisolationenforced=0&targetexperience=default&tabbedshell=0
only opens an msn.com page(albeit titled "Welcome to Windows")

Anthony Noel Burgess Having looked at the different results (renders properly on EdgeHTML, but renders improperly on all Chromium-based browsers (Edge Chromium, Google Chrome and Edge Chromium, renders improperly on Firefox, and renders not at all on IE 11) it looks to me like the page was designed using EdgeHTML-specific elements of some sort.
It probably isn't worth worrying about -- it isn't an Edge Chromium problem -- but Microsoft should take the time to rework the code so that the page renders properly on Blink, EdgeHTML and WebRender engines. Website design 101.

tomscharbach - Yeah I see what you're saying now. Thus probably why it looks fine on Edge but the other browsers it looks the way it looks. I'm guessing they will at some point have to adjust that so the web page appears properly on the new edge browser. I don't use IE 11 anymore at all since 2016 (and I was one of those using IE since IE 1.0 came out). But seeing it didn't appear at all in IE indicates what you were saying. I guess like anything else it's all a work in process since Microsoft is starting over from scratch with Edge.

With Internet Explorer 11 that first part of the page doesn't load on it:
