    MS Edge startup page cannot be changed after 21H1


    Hi ALL,

    I just got updated to 21H1 and all is ok except i now find that when starting MS Edge instead of going to the page I've specified (news.google.com) it starts up at the MS Start page. If I click on the Home icon it does go to the page I want but not when Edge starts up. And, YES, I have gone into Edge's settings to the Start Up setting and indeed it DOES say that it should start up at the Google news page and it always worked before but it no longer works. I even deleted the Google news page from the Start Up option and re-entered it but when Edge start it still goes to the MS Start Page instead of the indicated Google news page.

    Anyone else see this? Is this a know bug?

    Thanks,
    Gerry

    Ye. It will be probably fixed in the next version.

    No, I don't have the problem. My Edge opens where I want it to. There have been suggestions that the bug is only on certain country settings.

    The startup page bug triggers for me if I change the "Search engine used in the address bar" to anything other than Bing. As long I leave that set to default (aka Bing) it launches the correct start up page I have it set to without any issues.

    ymmv

    peace

    Desktop has the issue but laptops still use designated start up pages, however, bing was set to default so I had to remove it and put google back.
