Windows 10: Change Startup Page in Microsoft Edge

If you do reset, you'll at least be able to backup and restore your favorites.

It ain't working Brink. I trust your knowledge. I believe your processes usually work. But the above ain't working. I'm gonna try it all again, and let you know. In the meantime....

 

Hello djbillyd, *Smile

What part are you having trouble with?

 

I just finished the registry hunt and couldn't get anything after the Protected value. The ms.microsoftxxxx wasn't there. But I had already done all of the "settings" procedure. I updated to the Anniversary Update, and my choices are a little bit different. But I followed the MS process that I found in answers,Microsoft.com, because of the differences in the choices. I did get Google as my default search engine. But go.microzsoft.com still opens EDGE, in spite of my setting my homepage to my.yahoo.com.

 

I'm sorry, but all I got from that is your homepage is not correct? Could you clarify that?

 

I worked the registry to the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wek yb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Protected - It is a violation of Windows Policy to modify. See aka.ms/browserpolicy", in Option Two. Trying to set my homepage to "my.yahoo.com". Instead, it opens with the "go.microsoft. com", or something. Just not yahoo....
I tried to attach a pic, but I don't see it. Maybe you do.

 

There's not an OPTION TWO. You should be able to set it using step 7 instead though.

 

"Ok @CPinnegar. OPTION TWO added for .reg file options. *Smile"

It's that thread....

 

That no longer works, and is why it was removed from the tutorial on the first page. Please look at step 7 to add your startup page instead. *Smile

 

Did exactly what you said and, it still doesn't work. It still goes to "gomicrosoft", with this URL:
https://microsoftedgewelcome.microso...us/?source=fre.
And a page opens with it from Recherche, or Recherche. So I'm dealing with a lot of junk!

 

Just to verify, what build do you have installed?

In addition, please post some pics showing what you're seeing and the settings for this to see if anything may stand out.

 

Build 14393;

 

You'll often see the "Welcome" screen in Microsoft Edge after it has been updated or reset.

Let's also see your settings to see if anything may look out of place.

 

I hope it attaches...

 

This is the Advanced Settings setup....
