Hi all,

I've been searching for a while now on how to set the sepicific startupage of Edge through a registry setting.
After alot of searching I stumbled upon a solution that comes close to mine however this works only when I push the Homepage button.
I would like to be able to set the default startup page to something else.
Does anyone have the solution?
It would be much apreciated.

REG ADD "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Main" /v "HomeButtonEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Main" /v "HomeButtonPage" /t REG_SZ /d http://yourwepage.com /f

    This solution is for Edge Chromium:

    We need to set two settings in Edge Chromium:

    First, we need to set RestoreOnStartup: Action to take on startup.

    If you want to open Edge Chromium with new page with a url, then you should set this registry like below:

    • Path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge
    • Value Name: RestoreOnStartup
    • Value Type: REG_DWORD
    • Value Data: 0x00000004

    Second, we need to set RestoreOnStartupURLs: Sites to open when the browser starts.

    This registry setting is used to set the url of the homepage. You should set it like below:

    • Path: SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\Recommended\RestoreOnStartupURLs
    • Value Name: 1, 2, 3, ...
    • Value Type: list of REG_SZ
    • Value Data: the url you want to set as homepage
