  • 0 (default) - Turned off. Microsoft Edge does not check the Enterprise Mode Site List, and in this case, users might experience problems while using legacy apps.
  • 1 - Turned on. Microsoft Edge checks the Enterprise Mode Site List if configured. If an XML file exists in the cache container, IE11 waits 65 seconds and then checks the local cache for a new version from the server. If the server has a different version, Microsoft Edge uses the server file and stores it in the cache container. If you already use a site list, Enterprise Mode continues to work during the 65 second, but uses the existing file. To add the location to your site list, enter it in the {URI} box.

[!INCLUDE configure-start-pages-shortdesc]

Version 1607
Starting with this version, the HomePages policy enforces that users cannot change the Start pages settings.

If you don't want to send traffic to Microsoft, use the <about:blank> value, which honors both domain and non-domain-joined devices when it's the only configured URL.

Version 1809
When you enable the Configure Open Microsoft Edge With policy and select an option, and you enter the URLs of the pages your want to load as the Start pages in this policy, the Configure Open Microsoft Edge With policy takes precedence, ignoring the HomePages policy.

Note

 Turning this setting off, or not configuring it, sets your default Start pages to the webpages specified in App settings.
