However, with Windows 11, Microsoft gave all its love to the Edge browser and brought it to par with all the major browsers, in terms of design, performance, and features.
Interestingly Firefox does not have this feature and always opens the default start page.Microsoft Edge had rarely been the popular choice due to its lack of features and the functionalities offered by the competition. Is Edge/Chrome trying to force people into setting up a profile and placing all our "tracking info" on the web and this the result? I am thinking this has something to do with the original issue. I removed this profile and now I can open multiple instances of Edge and each one starts with my defined start page. I noticed this because the Edge icon in the taskbar had the "profile silhouette". I don't use a profile for syncing across computers and never set one up. I wasn't logged into a profile, yet somehow Edge was showing a profile using my email.
I did find a resolution to the second instance opening the Edge/Chrome default page. Hope this helps someone else out there facing similar issues. Not sure why one vs the other worked/updated but I now have them all working as desired again. Once this policy was in place all computers loaded the proper start page. I ended up setting a group policy to disabled "Enable preload of the new tab page for faster rendering". Other computers did not show the "update needed" and would not display the startup page. Curiously the version of Edge did not change after the update and remained 1.50. I found that after clicking the icon to update, the Start page worked properly. I noted versions of edge before proceeding, 1.50. I noticed some had an icon in the upper right corner of Edge saying an "update needed". I have over 40 computers setup using Group Policy to set the default home/startup pages. Whatever the reason, I hope this might help someone. So when the user opens it manually, they aren't "launching" from scratch but just automatically creating a new tab with the MSN page featured as default. I am definitely no expert, but it seemed to be behaving as though Edge was being invisibly launched on Startup and already running in the background without any display. This time it started correctly on Google. Opened Edge - initially received a "browser was turned off unexpectedly, do you want to return to the page?" type message. Turned the slider button off (it's easily turned back on, so not irreversibly techie). A few days later, I noticed that Windows Edge was mysteriously activated in the Windows 10 Startup list (Settings>Apps>Startup).
My PC suddenly developed this problem after running Edge with no difficulties. A nearly a year after the initial question)
