Something I noticed with upgrading vs cleaninstall with 74- upgrading copies all IE's settings including homepage and favorites(bar) to Spartan, a clean install you have to do everything manually. it would be nice if Spartan offered to copy your set up, from a one of your browsers you choose, to it, the first time it's opened, like Chrome.
I may be missing something in my interpretation here, but I have a clean install of Windows 10 Build 10074. Spartan/Edge is, of course, included. Last night I decided to give it a try to see if there were any improvements.
I clicked on the three dots at the top right, then Settings. The first item in the list was "Show Favorites Bar", which was turned to off. I switched it on and there, to my amazement, were all my favorites from IE and (I think) Firefox!
This was the first time I had opened Edge since my clean install. I have never before clicked on those dots, nor noticed them before (which means nothing). I have never tried to list favorites because I only regularly open two or three sites and typing the first two or three letters usually works. If not the first time, at least the second.
I don't know if Edge will automagically set anything else up because I hardly ever use IE any more; it just has too many problems in Windows 10.
I tried that before and nothing showed up. After reading your post I just checked again, and as Gomer Pyle said "Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!" They were there too. I guess when I ran wsreset a couple of days ago it repaired Spartan alias EDGE too:).I may be missing something in my interpretation here, but I have a clean install of Windows 10 Build 10074.

Thanks for reminding/causing me to check again Wynona.
So we now know Spartan can be fixed and it's a store app. If you've you seen in another thread it fixed the new Weather & the new People Mail Calendar apps.
I used to have IE set to open up both Eight and Ten forums plus Bing home page when I clicked the Icon, But my homepage was/is Bing.
I just checked Spartan. It found all my favorites from IE but not Pale Moon or Fire Fox.
