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).....

    > Nope, even with reboots and trying all combinations nothing changed - the new profile still comes up with new tab page

    Thank you so much. This should help pinpoint the cause by ruling out some potential culprits. You might submit feedback again, explaining the tests you've carried out and their results.

    One more question I should perhaps have asked earlier: are you using a proxy or VPN with this machine?

    No VPN or proxy. Workstation is on the same network at home as the affected laptop.

    Cheers,

    Mark

    Edited the original animated gif to include labelled slides to illustrate exactly what is happening.....

    Much clearer, thanks. I'd suggest that you submit feedback again, give it the same title as last time and attach the new video.
