I use Microsoft Edge and so far so good.  I have updates about every day... The problem with this is that I use yahoo as my home page and that is the page I want to see when logging in.  I get the Microsoft Edge Welcome startup page and I do not want to see this page at all.  I understand a lot of you do I don't.  What I tried is hitting my home button, when www.yahoo.com  comes up I highlight the URL and copy it to the ... >settings>specific page> I paste it into the URL section and hit save then I scroll down farther and do the same.  This works once out of 50 I would guess.  can anyone tell me how to STOP THE MICROSOFT EDGE WELCOME PAGE permanently?

    Hi,  I followed this and did what you suggested, then I tried to click a link in an email message that sent me to Edge, then the Welcome to Microsoft Edge screen came up again.  What else can I do to stop this?  Thanks much

    Hi Lorene,

    This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about having Yahoo on the home page and startup page of Edge.

    You would actually need to put the Yahoo address (https://www.yahoo.com) on both Home page settings and startup page. Here's how you can do it.

    1. Open Microsoft Edge
    2. Click on the three dots (...) on the upper-right part of it and then click on settings.
    3. Navigate on Appearance first and enable the Home Button and enter https://www.yahoo.com on the Enter URL box.
    4. After that, click on "On Startup" and choose "Open a specific page or pages" and then click on "Add a new page"
    5. Again enter the Yahoo address https://www.yahoo.com on the URL box and click on Add.
    6. Relaunch Microsoft Edge and should be able to see the Yahoo page on the startup.

    For more information, you may access the link and see the instruction under "How to open a specific page on startup with Microsoft Edge". https://pureinfotech.com/change-startup-page-mi...

    I hope the information I provided will help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

    Thanks,

    Wilfred P.
