Ashish_Upadhyay I thought I had posted this but must have missed the button.. Under your Pin to Start is settings.. which I also have.. In the past (approx 3 weeks ago) under settings was advanced settings.. Advanced settings is no longer available..
I have a issue that started , again, about 3 weeks ago where when I open pages , websites, etc and most anything.. they seem??? to open as apps and do not open with Edge.. It is causing several other issues.. The setting In Advanced Settings was " In Edge, click the three dots in the upper right corner. Go to settings, then view advanced settings. Find the toggle switch for open sites in apps and turn it off. That fixed the problem for me. " (A Quote found searching my issue).. Unfortunately the toggle is no longer shown under settings. All my icons.. (desktop, start, task bar, .. have always opened in Edge, until the approximately 3weeks ago.. now they all open as the first attached image. which has caused several other issues..

faller49 Hello again! What I have understood is that your pinned websites are opening as an individual apps instead of opening as a website in Edge. For solving this you need to go to Three dots>Apps>Manage Apps. Uninstall those apps and pin them again using 'Pin to Start' option.
If you still haven't got the 'Pin to Start' option under 'More Tools' then you should download Edge Beta or Edge Dev. Download Microsoft Edge Insider Channels
These are very stable if you are concerned about the stability issues.
Now talking about the Advanced Settings, this option was present in Legacy Edge.

Ashish_Upadhyay Ok, Thank You.. I had figured that out on the delete and re pin, but to pin task bar (yes no pin to start) or put in favorites and they are ok to open in Edge.... I have so much to do there is going to be many hours to redo these.. Why did they change? They were all fine approximately 3 weeks ago and some have been on start tiles for many years with out issue.. range of 400 induvial items.
