How to set the startup page for Microsoft Edge
Question
Hi Team,
Any idea how to set your startup page in Microsoft Edge. I have to set the Microsoft Edge startup page in a new image deploying through SCCM. I tried through the local group policy and registry, but it’s not working. any suggestion ??
Are you using the Microsoft Edge or Microsoft Edge Chromium ?
– Microsoft Edge Chromium has extensive Group Policy settings available to achieve this task.
Have you tried below steps:
Open the Group Policy Management Console (gpmc.msc)
Navigate to
Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Microsoft Edge.
Double-click Configure Start pages, set it to Enabled, and enter https://YourCustomUrl/HomePage
1. Through registry:”HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Protected – It is a violation of Windows Policy to modify. See aka.ms/browserpolicy”
but it works only on the same machine. If I apply to the other machine, it doesn’t work.
– For Microsoft Edge Startup Page Settings, it directly stated you can export them as a .reg file, and only merge the .reg file on the same PC. Merging the .reg file that was “exported from one PC will not work on any other PC”

A small question, Policies for legacy Edge and Chromium are the same? I’m looking for the legacy Edge startup page policy, not for the Chromium
I have a post scheduled for next week about the Edge Chromium Browser topic

also tried with below registries
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\MicrosoftEdge\Internet Settings]
“ProvisionedHomePages”=”www.abcd.com”
“DisableLockdownOfStartPages”=dword:00000001
“ConfigureOpenMicrosoftEdgeWith”=dword:00000003
none of the options are working.
2. As per the below article through the GPO (Local GPO). it’s not working.

Hello, How are you trying?
– For Microsoft Edge Startup Page Settings, it directly stated you can export them as a .reg file, and only merge the .reg file on the same PC. Merging the .reg file that was “exported from one PC will not work on any other PC”
– Have to check some updated templates or tweak.
