Set Start.me as your homepage

When you set Start.me as the default homepage for Edge, you can access your favorite bookmarks and widgets faster and more efficiently.

The default setting for Edge is to open with their version of a start page. First, make sure you open with a Start.me page.

Instructions

  1. Open the settings page from Edge by clicking the settings menu (three dots, top-right), or go there directly by typing edge://settings in the address bar.

  2. On the Settings page, go to On startup. Toggle the third option: "Open a specific page or set of pages" and click "Set pages." Here you can type "https://start.me." ​
