Homepage tab not loading 128.0.2739.42
Thanks everyone for the help on this one! The team has a fix, which is planned to be released with the next Stable 128 update, later this week.
As a temporary workaround, you should be able to use the following command line argument:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" --disable-features="msIrm, msIrmv2, msEndpointDlp"

It seems to be a bit different for me.
Loading a HomePage works fine, but opening Edge INTO a Specific webpage whenever Edge was not open yet loads forever.
Note: In some cases, people might be making a "Home Page" by creating their Edge desktop shortcut with arguments to open their "Home Page" website - instead of using the https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployedge/microsoft-edge-policies#homepagelocation - I would highly recommend the Group Policy version instead.
However, I believe I am seeing the same issue on my machine as well - anything that opens a new browser window, like a Desktop Shortcut or clicking a link in Teams or Outlook.
- If Edge is not open, and I click a Web Shortcut / Link – it opens Edge, and just spins – not loading.
- Refreshing the page fixed it for me, until I closed ALL Edge windows and then tried opening again.
- Although, I did NOT see my usual options to Restore Previous Pages that had been opened before. I was still able to reopen them manually through Reopen Closed tab (Ctrl-Shift-T) or History (Ctrl-H)
- If Edge is already open, I click a link that will open in Edge, I’m not seeing this problem, and it just works like normal.
Kevin_Crouch FYI we are indeed using the GPO version of this and are still experiencing the issue.
- That's good.
I think it's interesting though that - at least in MY testing - it seems to be ALL web-pages with the first launch - not just HomePage.
Just HomePage is the first page most people see this with.
Try
* Closing All Edge Windows
* Making a shortcut or Link to https://google.com on your desktop, or in Teams/Outlook/etc
* Clicking that Shortcut
For me, that is opening Edge WITHOUT my HomePage, on the correct URL for what I clicked, but loading indefinitely.
Refreshing fixes the page for me though, until I close Edge fully again.- this is the same behavior we are experiencing, most of our users that had issues were opening edge with a url link/shortcut vs. noticing on their homepage (largely b/c where they care about their homepage, edge hasn't yet updated) - but it does behave the same for the home page (gpo set). Always good to know others are experiencing the same pattern of behavior.
- And, as others have said - nothing in Crashes for me either.
It doesn't seem like Edge actually crashes, just that the webpage fails to ever load.
