    Home page ... about:blank
    The bleeding Edge browser doesn't seem to like that though, so it cycles through my recent history.

    I think this issue is of a recent vintage, so with time it should improve (after MS actually includes History on the DotDotDot pane.

    Right now I use Google as my start page for Edge and I use it as my secondary in WIn10. It's, for me, making nice progress and I like to see how it's going to be in the upcoming builds.

    Me too. I also set it on Spartan/Edge but when I just logged in it went to Bing (or MSN, can't remember) even though it is definitely set to open to Ten Forums.

    I'd prefer a home page that I will actually use (I have a weather page on W8.1) to a search engine.

    Hi SMP, (I'm just lazy),
    The old IE options feature is still there,
    I got there using
    Notifications>settings>network and internet>internet options, note you have to scroll down.

    AND IT WORKS ON SPARTAN,
    tested on remove passwords.

    I had a look at this Roy (what a crazy way to find the options). Unfortunately the settings I have there (automatically go to a new tab when opened and use Ten Forums as my home page) aren't working for me in Spartan. But I'm having a pretty frustrating time with Spartan anyway. Maybe I'll have to do a fresh install and see if it's any better.

    I just checked Spartan. It found all my favorites from IE but not Pale Moon or Fire Fox.
    Same here, but it does seem strange that it doesn't default to load your favorites. But then if you were to add a new browser that wouldn't automatically pick up your favorites either, so the fact that Spartan does this is a bonus I guess.

    Firefox does. I just clean reinstalled(not repair install to avoid cruft) 10074 to clean-up my "experiments" such as theming and playing around with drivers This time I went with Firefox instead of Chrome as my default browser. I haven't used in in months and that was in Debian 7 Wheezy. Firefox ask if I wanted to import from IE I said yes as a base for my favorites and cookies, then I sync'd and got my add-ons from before, now I have as perfectly updated back up browser(only had to download Flash Player). Chrome is quicker, but FF is safer with the Self Destructing Cookies add-on.

    I've had this before, but not yet on Win10, it's malware. Google it.
