MicrosoftThanks, MissyQ !
Hi lforbes - Thanks for reaching out! It is the expected behavior for the NewTabPageLocation Policy to function as mandatory when setting to recommended. The documentation (Microsoft Edge Browser Policy Documentation | Microsoft Docs) for the policy has been updated.
Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi Kelly
This needs to be added to SETTINGS as a user changeable setting.
This policy should work as expected and be a Recommended, but NOT enforced policy.
I get that Microsoft wants to advertise and push advertisements from their New Tab Page down on people whether they want them or not, but that interferes with business ability to conduct business effectively without their WAN links being spammed by advertising to people at work.
Please provide the ability in Settings to CHOOSE a website like we could in Internet Explorer.
Internet Explorer is gone as of next month and so far Edge cannot function like it yet despite the IE age.
