    I've been avoiding Edge on W10. Gave it another try today. I normally set my home page to open 2 tabs. In older versions of IE and in all other browsers I use, I can configure my browser to how I want it to open. Then I go to the settings/options area and tell the browser to use what I have open as my home page. Edge doesn't provide that option. Seems you have to specify a URL. No options to Use Current.

    Am I missing something here?

    How I have done mine is found the page I want added to Favourites Bar then when I want it I just click on it.
    I have 5 favourites that I can click straight into.
    By the way I use Edge full time, have even dumped IE11
    Don't have CROME etc

    Cindy: I've been there. It wants you to enter a URL, not a set of pages you're currently looking at.
    hTconeM9user - I want Edge to open a set of tabs, not a single page.

    You only have to enter the url the first time, Tony.
    After you select the plus tab, it saves it for the next time.

    I actually do the same thing that hTconeM9user does, I use the favorites bar.

    Cindy - your suggestion worked. I wan't intuitive. At least, it wasn't for me. It was easy before. Not so easy now. But you figured it out. Thanks

    You're welcome, Tony. There's nothing that comes easy with Window 10.

    I don't even use Edge. It has a damn mind of its own.

    I read "Edge" is still a work in progress by Microsoft.

    I had three rigs running Windows10. I have rolled back two of the to Windows 7 SPI.
    This one I am posting on now is the only W10 Computer I have now.
    Windows 10 transfers data quicker than Windows7 big deal.
    You are not transfering data 24/7
    I am running IE11 and Firefox on this computer.
    I am dead against secret updates which require Powershell or similar to be able to control, Generic drivers which you have to stop from installing most noted is the Graphics driver. You install the correct driver from say nvidia, next time W10 boots the good driver is removed and a generic driver is reinstalled. On top of that all the privacy issues which the not so switched on person would just agree to everything.
    After all the media hype and some 5 mill pre testing W10 I am really disappointed with w10 at this stage.

    I think Edge is a joke, it is half a browser and have no clue unfinished why Ms even released it.
    I also do not see where anything is faster here on Windows 10. Personally the Start Menu is a bad joke and I don't use it.
    The majority of my pcs are back to Windows 7 and I have kept my Dell All-in-One on Windows 10 as it is running fine
    but for where I do most of my work, Windows 7 and 8.1 is where I remain.

    This thread has gone off-course. It's not about the qualities of Edge or even W10. It's about setting the home page. Please address the topic only. Thanks,

    I thought also your question had been answered,Tony. When a question has been answered it accepted for a thread to go off topic.
    No one was trying to Hijack your thread.:)
