1809 and 'Top Sites' in Edge no longer configurable.

Following a clean installation of 1809 I'm finding that my top sites are not able to be moved around as you could in previous versions. Trying to drag a tile to the left or right simply places the No Entry sign over it meaning 'you can not do this'.

Anyone else noticed this ?

I agree, I have the same behaviour. They do seem to update depending on what sites I use most often.

Thanks for confirming that this seems to be 1809 related. Having my most frequently used sites in a fixed order was really useful.

Think I might report it via Edge as a 'problem'.

Edit... Done. Report sent.

Yes it's frustrating not being able to drag your pinned sites to keep related ones next to each other. Have to do the delete/replace dance.

What I'd like to see even more, would be the ability to add 3 or 4 additional rows of favorite/top sites. There was a "hack" for doing this in Internet Explorer in Windows 7. Maybe there's one for Edge too?

Thank-you Bree. It's too bad that EDGE is still so "bare-bones", even after 3 years.

By the way...does anyone know how to stop EDGE from starting when the P.C. starts? My CCleaner always asks me if I want to close EDGE. It asks this even if Edge is not visibly running.

There's a tutorial, you can turn off pre-launch starting with 1809...

Thanks Bree. The Registry tweak worked like a charm. The Edge process doesn't end when Edge is closed, but Edge no longer starts with Windows 10. Excellent!
