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.

    Hi Antony,

    We are just volunteers here trying to help. The Pin to start feature may come in future, until then you have to use, Pin to the taskbar>Pin to Start workaround.

    Edge and Chrome use the same engine. As per my experience, the battery life compared to Chrome is way down. There is no point in using Chrome if Edge is better.

    Not a reply, but a question.   Why was "Pin to start" removed and why are we unable to rollback the update, if it does not suit our needs?  Looking for a really good answer, before I move to chrome for good!

    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

    It doesn't give me the option to choose pin to start after its on my taskbar.
