Since that last update, my home page isn't showing up every time I start up Microsoft Edge.

And this is my settings for Edge:

Can you tell me why this happening?

Since that last update, my home page isn't showing up every time I start up Microsoft Edge.

This is a bug affecting a few users. The Edge team reported on 29 November::

This is a known issue and is fixed in 97.0.1057.0 but not quite moved up to Stable yet. Our Insiders who've had the same thing happening have reported it resolved, so you're welcome to give anInsider builda try if you'd like (Canary and Dev have the fix.) Or, I'll check back in with you after that build is in Stable and make sure the fix is working for you!

Microsoft Edge Version 96.0.1054.34 (Offizielles Build) (64-Bit) - Microsoft Tech Community

Alexandra doesn't make clear whether this fix is incorporated into one of the builds 1055-1057 or into the major update to Edge 97, but if it's the latter, the the expected Stable release date for Edge 97 is next month:

Version Release status Beta Channel <br>Release week Stable Channel <br>Release week
97 Released <br>Version 01-Dec-2021 <br>97.0.1072.21 Week of 06-Jan-2022

    I've sent feedback, hopefully, it'll be picked up.

    Just to show that the team take feedback seriously, one of them posted this not long ago:

    Hello, I'm a developer on Edge. We've been monitoring this issue closely and struggling to reproduce it. Today I was able to see potentially how this could happen.<br><br><br><br>Could anyone who can reproduce this please close all instances of Edge (App menu -> Close Microsoft Edge to be sure) take a look at the preference file for the profile in (For Stable channel users, this is typically under %userprofile%\appdata\local\microsoft\edge\user data\default\preferences)<br><br>Open this file in notepad and search for 'exit_type'. If it says 'Crashed' this profile is caught in a crashed state cycle. This can be induced by a real browser crash or opening an InPrivate window (The InPrivate issue has been fixed in Canary)<br><br><br><br>Normally, if the browser crashes, this should prompt the user to acknowledge the crash on the next restart. It seems that in some states, the user is never prompted. This keeps the crash state in the profile and will always start with the New Tab Page.<br><br><br><br>To work around this, you can change that value to 'Normal' but the problem may come back until this bug has been fixed.

    Latest version, setting Start, Home and New tabs not working - Microsoft Community

    I replied to the effect that this doesn't apply to me. All my profiles show Crashed, but all of them honour the start-up setting. However, I do have Startup boost turned off for all of them. Have you tried that? ⋯ (Settings and more) > Settings > System and performance.

    Hi again, Damo.

    Let's try the repairs for Edge again to see if they work this time. Please don't skip any steps. We often find out later that the fix was the skipped step. If you need help performing any step I will help.

    I'll give you everything possible to fix Edge so something should work:

    1. If possible back up your Favorites first in Edge Hub (three dots top right of browser) > Favorites > Manage Favorites > Export to file: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/143983-how-...

    If you can't open Edge but another browser will open, then go into it's Settings to try to "Import from another Browser" your Edge Favorites so they are at least backed up.

    1. You can reset new Edge in Edge Settings > Reset Settings.
    2. If you can't open Edge or if the Edge Reset doesn't work then go into Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Microsoft Edge > Modify > Repair.
    3. Try re-registering Edge from Option 2 here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-apps-re...
    4. If none of those repairs help try the additional repairs here:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-e...

    https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/common-...

    https://www.windowscentral.com/five-ways-fix-co...

    https://techgenix.com/problems-with-edge-browser/

    1. Next run System File Checker and DISM from Step 10 in this checklist:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

    1. If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems. Tutorial here: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows...

    If you want to report this to Edge Developers you can choose the Edge Hub (three dots to right of URL address bar) then Help & Feedback, then Feedback form to fill out. They will not even see it here, as this is a tech forums where mostly volunteers try to help others with their problems.

    Really glad to hear that, Damouk. Let me know if there's anything else.

    The problem is back, and I don't know why?

    I hope that you can help me again. Sorry for the inconvenience.
