Hi there!
I see this is an old thread, but for posterity's sake I would like to share my workaround (note that I'm using SharePoint 365 (online).
- Navigate to Site Pages then click the settings (cog) button in the top right and choose Library settings.
- Under Content Types click Add from existing site content types.
- Add "Link to a Document".
- Refresh your Site Pages. Then Select New > Link to a document. Add your URL and description.
- Click the 3 dots next to your new Site Page and select Make homepage.
- Click Publish.
And voila, hopefully this will now make your Document Library/whatever your new homepage!

I am having this issue. I have several Sharepoint sites that I am following on my homepage. Only one isn't working where it downloads a "404 not found" instead of navigating to the site. Even if I manually paste the url into a browser is just downloads another "404 not found" doc and never navigates to the site. I can however use the search bar to access my documents on the site but managing the site or site documents is impossible. Please help. Here is the link I'm trying to access Edgewood FDLGroup .
