Microsoft Edge Home Button Behavior

I've configured Edge to open a specific URL when clicking home button. Although the policy is set, I found expected URL was not being loaded and was instead loading the default Microsoft page. I've looked through the settings and found that my policy was being applied, but there is a radio button which allows the users to select the default page or the custom URL defined by group policy. I don't want users to have the option to select which page is loaded. How can I go about disabling the radio button so that my defined URL is loaded by default without the radio button allowing users to select an option?

    Hi @Nathan Householder

    I suppose that you're using Edge Chromium, correct me if I'm wrong. Do you want to force the user to open the page you specified in policy when click the home button and don't want the user to change to use the new tab page? If so, you can configure the following policies:

    1. HomepageLocation: You can enable this policy and set the home page url you want.
    2. HomepageIsNewTabPage: You can disable this policy, then users can't choose "New tab page" anymore.

    The result is like below:
