Hi!  The root cause for the recommended policy not working as expected is that Microsoft Edge doesn't provide any user interface to allow a user to set their New Tab Page location (like Daniel Smith mentioned above with the screenshots).  

 

A user can set a new tab page location by installing a New Tab Page Microsoft Edge Extension from the Extension Store.  

 

If you haven't had a chance yet, you can submit feature requests through the browser. ("..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback).  Thanks!
