New Microsoft Edge - How to set Google as homepage
Am following Microsoft's instructions as to how to set Google as my
homepage, which has the correct result. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...wser-home-page However, having opened that first window, on rightclicking the Edge icon in Taskbar to open a second window, the homepage in that window reverts to the Microsoft Edge homepage. How do I get the homepage to always be Google? -- aa |

How do I get the homepage to always be Google? Open Edge go to Google Copy the url. In settings paste in "use url" on the end of that box, there is a little "disk" image click on it. Just worked for me ! KenW Hmm, it's not for me. Where specifically in Settings are you doing this? Thanks. -- aa |

Find Open Microsoft Edge with and choose a specific page or pages) from the dropdown menu. Then you can paste the google url you copied earlier click on the "disk" image at the right.

Again, for me this works fine and *does* open with the Google homepage when I *first* launch the browser. It's when I open a second browser window by right-clicking on the Edge icon in the taskbar and left clicking on Microsoft Edge that I always get the Edge homepage rather than the Google homepage. I use exactly the same method as I used to use in Google Chrome to open a second browser window, and cannot get my head round why each new browser window I open opens with the Edge homepage. Help! -- aa |

How about this one ? https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/...-chromium.html edge://flags/#focus-mode Disabled And have a look in Task Manager, after that pig has processed a few tabs and such. There will be a *ton* of processes in there, which implies that every tab or New Page that opens is a separate process. And this gives rise to the "what do we do when we first start" behavior. The "first start" behavior is getting triggered way too much. That's why I selected that one as a possibility. No guarantees though, because who knows how many other flags interact with it. Part of flag design, is laying down flags that don't do stuff :-/ They teach that in UI school (the "elevator door close button" that isn't wired up). HTH, Paul |

For me that *does* work on first opening chredge, but doesn't work when right clicking "new window" in task bar once it is already running, that gives me a bing start page instead. |

This is Microsoft "pretending" to have turned over a new leaf. It's like inviting a dog over to the house that has bitten children in the past, and being surprised when it bites some children. It's in the genes. Paul |
