Edge Group Policy BUG with New TAB PAGE - RECOMMENDED is getting ENFORCED and not changeable.
MissyQ Any update on the fix for this? I have 85,000 hospital computers we want to switch from IE to Chromium Edge. However, this bug is still outstanding. When we set the New Tab Page Location...

MicrosoftHi! 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!

Is this extension MS authored though? if not it will never get past our sec team 😞 I understand you point regarding the lack of a UI pane to set the new tab landing page but I'm still wondering why MS would not add this other than they wish to control the new tab page to push the O365 toolbar etc. which I would under stand but I too work in a healthcare with users who want our familiar Intranet page on every new tab.
PS: I have raised this as a feature request vi the in0-built feedback option in Edge.
