We have added the following Default Settings via GPO. Users can Change
Home Page
Set new Tab Page to Home Page
Show Home Button
Pages to open on Startup.
Edge Version 83.0.478.45
The ONLY GPO that is actually setting is "show home button". The rest EXIST in the settings as "recommended by your organization" but they are absolutely NOT setting as "default setting".
The entire point of this was to set the Settings that are DEFAULT and then let users choose but that doesn't seem to work?
I can confirm that the GPO Registry keys below are applied.
Preferences - Windows Settings - Registry
Registry item: ShowHomeButton
PropertiesHive HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key path Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended

So it turns out that the Recommend Settings do NOT apply if you have the First Run experience enabled. It just plows right over it. You have to set the new GPO setting. I just added the registry key here for people.
Hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key path SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
Value name HideFirstRunExperience
Value type REG_DWORD
Value data 0x1 (1)
We also had to add this to stop the auto sign in for the settings to stick.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge]
"ConfigureOnPremisesAccountAutoSignIn"=dword:00000000
