How to set a homepage in Microsoft Edge: step by step

3. In the left menu, select Start, home, and new tab page.
4. Turn on Show home button on the toolbar.

Now click the home icon on the toolbar to jump to that page. To make the whole browser your default, read how to set a default browser on Windows.

How do I make Edge open a specific site on startup?

The home button and the startup page are separate settings. In the same Start, home, and new tab page area, Edge has a “When Edge starts” section where you can pick what opens at launch. Microsoft’s linked help article covers the home button only, so check this section in your own Edge version.

If the home button is missing or the steps look different

• Update Edge from Settings → About Microsoft Edge.
• Microsoft says these steps apply to the new Edge; the older “legacy” Edge has separate instructions.
• On a work PC, an administrator policy may lock the homepage.
• Mac and mobile menus differ; Microsoft’s article does not list them, so use Edge’s own Settings search.
