Windows 10: Stop computer from automatically opening edge on the Bing Home Page. MSFT spent three hours...

When I open my Laptop, computer automatically opens Edge and the Bing Home Page. MSFT chat Help spent three hours trying to fix this issue but failed. Frustrated as heck.

Edge automatically launches Bing page on startup

I did something to my computer and now every time I wake it up from sleep it automatically launches a Bing page on Edge that appears to be set to a search for the screen image that was on the startup page. It never did this before so I must have inadvertently changed something. It is very annoying. Is there anyway to stop that? Thanks!

 

Edge automatically launches Bing page on startup

Press Windows Key, type Startup, click on 'Startup tasks'.
Check if Edge is set to auto-start there, or something else which would trigger that behavior.

To have a different start page for Edge, click on the Settings icon—3 dots top-right—and then on 'Settings' at the bottom of the popup. You can then choose what page you want Edge to launch with.

 

Stop Microsoft Edge from opening last session instead of home page

I can't permanently stop Edge from opening the last session when I have set it up to open on a specific page. This only happens the first time it is used after booting the computer. Second and subsequent use of Edge result in it opening on the home page as it should.
I have tried all the various methods that Microsoft suggest to fix this and have found that even though they may work the first time edge is opened after implementing the fix the problem invariably returns.

Any suggestions as to a proper permanent fix?
