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.

    Thanks _snarf

    Although I have the same version as you, I got it to work but not exactly as per your good, detailed instructions - very weird. I am in New Zealand, I wonder if that makes a difference? However, I was able to adapt to the options that I did have by using your guide lines - and it worked!!!  I would, however, like to know if I can pin said web pages to the Edge Icon on my Task Bar (when you right click the icon and some are pinned and/or it shows recently closed). Some web pages don't show as 'recently closed'  That still seems to evade me.  I have some sites, but not all will pin.  Your explanation was brilliant though.  Thanks............

    thanks Sumit! I actually tried installing the site as an app. I thought it didn't work cz usually when there is a new app installed, it shows up first in the 'recently added' list in the Start menu. it wasn't there. after reading your solution, i checked my apps and it was just there. so then the usual right clicking and choose pin to start. AWESOME! 🤘��
