Since installing KB4023057 / KB5003173 the Edge 'On start up' setting of 'Open a specific page or pages' no longer works.... Well I say it no longer works... It works if you set the default search engine to Bing, anything other than Bing and it only brings up the MSN news feed (as you would normally get when you open a new tab).

This is pretty annoying, and a big issue in my opinion (forcing people into using Bing, especially with the new nag windows that you cannot get rid of).....

    Having this exact same problem since the last windows update. Set Edge to any search engine other than Bing and my homepages stop loading.

    Started straight after the 21H1 update.

    I have been using the nag window in settings (top right 'restore recommended browser settings') or the Edge 'reset defaults'. For me, every time I do this (and Bing ends up as the default search engine) then the problem goes away....

    Also have this issue. And yes, everything magically goes back to normal if I set Bing as my default search engine. Disgusting, if intentional.

    Edit: Edge 91.0.864.37 build, Windows 10 21H1, 19043.1023 build.
