Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
Hi, I hope somebody can help. My Windows 10 laptop has installed the new Edge Browser for 2020. It is Edge number 80.361.66, 64 bit. On the old Edge I can go to the more icon (....) at the top right, then More Tools, then Pin To Start. Now on this new Edge there is no Pin To Start. How can I pin a web page to my Start Menu. If I cannot pin a web page to my Start Menu, what's really the use of the Start Menu. I have always had folders on my Start Menu with pages pinned. Now I can't. Can anyone help me? Cheers.

I have figured out a way to pin a site to Start. See the GIF - requires you to pin to the taskbar first. unfortunately, the update to Edge cannot be uninstalled.
First pin the site to the task bar via Edge's three dot menu/More tools/Pin to taskbar then right click on the new icon that it created on the taskbar, right click on the menu item above "Unpin from taskbar" and choose "Pin to start". You can then unpin the icon from the taskbar.
Thank you for your help

Yes with the new Edge, you cannot directly pin a website to start. You can directly pin to the taskbar instead.

For pinning it to Start, there is a workaround. You need to install the website as an app from Settings and you should be good to go. Please note that if you install the website as an app, it opens in a full Window without tabs. To install site as an app, click 3 dots in the right and choose the same option. You would see the same in start menu from where you can pin tile.
