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.

      Internet Explorer isn't going away as long as you keep your Windows version up to date. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/faq/internet-explorer-microsoft-edge

      Edge Chromium has IE mode - you can set websites that don't work well in chrome (our ERP system and some other internal applications dont work well) so we use this. I've removed Chrome and old edge from all machines and now we are only using Edge Chromium. This is working out amazing.
