<!-- Configure Open Microsoft Edge With-->

> *Supported versions: Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, version 1809*<br>
> *Default setting:  Enabled (A specific page or pages)*

[!INCLUDE [configure-open-microsoft-edge-with-shortdesc](../shortdesc/configure-open-microsoft-edge-with-shortdesc.md)]

**Version 1703 or later:**<br>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:**<br>When you enable this policy (Configure Open Microsoft Edge With) and select an option, and also enable the Configure Start Pages policy, Microsoft Edge ignores the Configure Start Page policy.<p>
