    I updated my Edge to the latest version 91.0.864.37 today and it has now given me the following problems.

    When I opened Edge the first time after updating I was asked did I want to reset all my settings which I didn't wish to do because I have spent a long time getting them exactly as I want so I refused this and carried on. Then I noticed that when I now open Edge it always opens a new tab page and not the page I have set as my preferred start-up page. The other problem I have is if I click on any link to a page it will open that page but at the same time the new tab page also opens up alongside it. This is very annoying and I really don't want to try resetting everything as I have far too many preferences set in my passwords and cookies which would then take a long time to get back and with no guarantee that doing a reset would fix the problem.

    Has anyone else found this happened after updating to the latest version and if so is this a bug which hopefully will get fixed soon.

    I have the same problem. The On startup setting does not work. New tab setting can't be turned off.

    At the moment with 91.0.864.37 I cannot middle click on one of my favourites icons and have it open in a new tab.
    In fact I only seem to be able to open a single page at a time, the is no + sign at the end of a tab to allow me to open a new tab next to it.
    Something is very strange.
    I also chose not to update my settings.
    Anyone else seeing issues?

    Thanks for confirming this. Then it is a bug and we will have to wait for it to be fixed.

    I don't have these problems. I have a + sign and the middle click works.

    I also don't have those problems so for sure something has gone very wrong with this update.

    Very strange indeed how different problems affect systems this way.

    I don't have a "Middle Click Button" on my Microsoft Arc Mouse. So, no problem, I think for me.

    And, also I only got Microsoft Edge, recently. [Mentioned somewhere else on this forum]

    I have the '+' for new tabs and middle-click works but Edge opens on the 'New Tab' page instead of my Home page.

    FYI. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com...-up-of-edge/m-p/2398614/highlight/true#M47688

    Workaround 2 worked for me on my Edge's desktop shortcut, however, after changing Properties, had to unpin Edge from the Taskbar (still opening with a new tab page) then pin it again, and now it opens my Home page every time. :D

    Spoke too soon. While my Home page opens, a new Microsoft search tab page opens behind it. What a kerfuffle! :ouch:

    This might be the worst browser update ever.

    Yeah, I only got two of those annoying browser popups but X'd out of it at the top right the second time and it didn't recur. I set the flag for that anyway. There is no way I'm changing my search engine to Bing to get around anything; I'll use my alternate browser: Firefox.

    On startup, I only get my homepage with my custom image. If I set it to open to a specific URL, it doesn't work. Anyone else see this? I do have the plus after the last opened tab, though.

    I expect a new Edge build shortly. Very shortly. :cautious:

    I have tried many various things but it seems like this update has more or less broken Edge for me. I have no new tab +.
    I cannot right-click and select open in new tab ...nothing happens.
    I have even reset Edge but it is still the same. I cannot see how an Edge update would mend it **sigh**

    And it's still the same :mad:
