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).....

    So, if I use DuckDuckGo as my Search engine, Home Page as a startup page doesn't work anymore. For sure I won't bend to this Microsoft low tactics to force us to stop using other but their search engine. I'll wait a bit for a fix, but if it doesn't come soon, there are many at least as good as edge browsers outside, like Opera or Firefox...

    I have exactly the same problem after KB5003254 installed this morning. As soon as the machine was rebooted, Edge asked if I wanted to set Bing as the default search engine. I chose no and Edge now fails to load any startup page, instead just loading the new tab page. If I set Bing as the default search engine the startup pages load perfectly fine.

    "Open a specific page or pages broken ..."

    • Have you been able to recreate this issue on a Guest profile?  Yes

    Really curious: how do you set a start-up page on the Guest profile? You can't, right? And the new tab page is just a notice explaining how a guest account operates. So I'm wondering which issue you were able to recreate ...

    Hello,

    My name is Ben, and I'm a Community Manager for Microsoft Edge. I'm sorry to hear you've been having this problem. The team and I definitely want to investigate this and, to do so, I'd like to ask you a few more questions. Please reply to the following when you get the chance:

    • Have you been able to recreate this issue on a Guest profile?
    • Have you disabled all Extensions while troubleshooting?
    • Does this issue happen in both Dev and Canary, as well?

    These details will help me to pin down the situation as the team looks into the matter. If you have any other information you think may help, as well, please don't hesitate to let me know.

    I appreciate your taking the time to report this!
