GPO RestoreOnStartup not working - shows edge://apps/
We are preparing to roll out the brand new Edge Chromium.
Therefore we have created a GPO that works pretty well except of one thing - we are not able to set the URL for the site to load on startup.
The policy for RestoreOnStartup and RestoreOnStartupURLs is loading correctly from GPO to edge://policy/.
But if you hit edge://settings/onStartup the page URL to start with Edge is set to "edge://apps".
This is annoying. Has anyone experienced this behavior and has a solution?
Version 80.0.361.32 (Official build) beta (64-bit)
Version 81.0.389.2 (Offizielles Build) dev (64-Bit)
Version 79.0.309.65 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit)
Problem seems to be solved.
Deleted whole GPO object, created a new one and set setting after setting - following "gpupdate /force" and reloading policies in Edge.
In the end I had the same settings as on the screenshot above - but this time startup page worked.

PhilFancyAndMe We also use NewTabPageLocation for setting the homepage URL in addition to HomepageLocation and RestoreOnStartupURLs
Thank you for your reply.
I added the NewTabPageLocation to the group policy and checked it hits the Policies page in Edge.
It shows up as expected - BUT Edge still loads edge://apps/ on startup so this sadly did not solve the issue.
How is this PC managed? AD-joined or MDM?
