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).....

    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....

    You mean you reset Edge to defaults? I just did that, but made no difference. Still will not retain my start up page as long as the default search engine is not Bing.... As soon as I change it back to Bing, poof - my designated start up page dissapears to be replaced by the new tab window.
