increase&nbsp;"whenever I open a new tab, I get that page."&nbsp;Yes, whenever we open a new tab, we all get that page. However, after you change the settings to "open a specific page, shut down all instances of Edge and launch it again. When you first launch Edge, it should open to the specific page, but just for the first tab, it creates. All further tabs are Search tabs.&nbsp;However, there is a known bug with that function where it behaves just like yours does. However, that bug is very fleeting. It hits when it feels like it. From what I understand, Microsoft is trying to find a way to replicate it reliably so they can pinpoint the problem and fix it.&nbsp;However, thanks to you, I have found a new bug that I will bring up. When I launch the first new instance, it gives me the right web page (most of the time but not always). But launching a second instance does not bring up the wanted page. This behaviour did not exist with Edge Classic.

NicolSD&nbsp;&nbsp;I just restarted my PC and reset windows and updated settings, now the edge browser starts up on my page correctly, so it is just the new tab page that doesnt seem to work&nbsp;Clear History works now.

increase&nbsp;-- Click on the three dots at the right end of the address bar, past the little smiley face. Go down to Settings. In the Settings screen, click On startup (in the left column). That'll give you three options:&nbsp;1- Open the New Tab page (I believe that's what you have)2- Continue when you left off3- Open a specific page.

If you open&nbsp;edge://settings/onStartup, you will see the following control.&nbsp; You can add one or more pages here that open automatically whenever you open the browser.&nbsp; This does not change the New Tab Page that shows up when you click the + sign to open a new tab.
