The home page open opens if it's a fresh browser/all tabs have been closed. Our users know that they can just click the home button to go to our default SharePoint site if they want. I chose office 365 experience for new tab because we have Office 365 and I just want them to see that instead of a Bing or Google search Engine where they might get distracted.

    I have done some test today as a continuation from above.

    Stable version of Edge Admx (1909) to set homepage at Edge version 83.x works perfectly fine and I'm not sure if it will work other versions of edge too like 43.x,44.x

    And the same time windows admx(1903) sets homepage in edge version of 44.x but it's not version 83.x

      I downloaded the latest admx files from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/business/download

       

      I am using the latest stable 83 chromium version. No idea if these work for older version,

       

      Any particular reason your testing with the older version?

        Because we're not completely moved to chromium based browsers yet. We still have some non chromium based browsers.
