Starting today (1/4/2022), whenever I click on a news article in the New Tab page, the Microsoft Start page is displayed instead. How do I stop that from happening?

    I just noticed it doesn't do it if you click on a Microsoft ad. Interesting.

    I think you're right. Like everyone else it started today. I am also running Windows 11. I don't think it actually has anything to do with Edge but some settings/redirect or something else Microsoft has slipped into Edge for Windows 11. As I said if I want the feeds on MSN I would open my Widgets window (which I never do).

    I'm having the same problem, but, fwiw, it is working on my Galaxy S10 Android phone. So it may have something specifically to do with the version of Edge. (I'm running Edge on Windows 11)

    Try it yourself. Does it work? No? That is what the person is asking about.

    Hello Carlo,

    I am also having the same issue. I tried restarting to default settings and I am already at the version of Edge that you identified. I restarted and those actions did not change anything. Edge still launches out to www.msn.com feed and will not open the actual link.
