How to change startup page settings on Microsoft Edge

On Windows 10, the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge comes with settings that allows you to decide the startup behavior.

Although starting with a new tab is the default configuration (and it’ll be suited for most people), you can also change the settings to instruct the Chromium Edge to save your current session allowing you to resume where you left off. Or if you work with the same websites every day, you can specify the pages that the browser should load on startup.

In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to change the startup behavior of the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.
