Sheraz_Sarrdar We use Ivanti Environment Manager for our Edge ADMX policies. You can do the same thing with AD or Intune though. Get the latest Edge policy templates from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download (Get policy files).

We set these three policies:

Action to take on startup - enabled - 4 (Open a list of URLS)

Configure the home page URL - enabled - https://urlOfHomePage.html

Sites to open when the browser starts - enabled - https://urlOfHomePage.html

Didn't think you would reply so quick, i had done those settings but it applies to Work profile and not personal. i think the reason why that might be is that the personal profile is linked to the users own hotmail account or something and it won't be able to force it to open our sharepoint site.
thank you for your help Jeff.

Kind Regards
