Microsoft fixes Microsoft Edge 91 nag screens and startup page bug
2021-06-01 17:10

Microsoft has pushed out a fix for the Microsoft Edge 91 startup bugs and nag screens plaguing users since the new version of the browser was released.

Last week, Microsoft Edge 91 was released, and users immediately began reporting that the browser was not opening to their configured startup page, and a 'Use recommended browser settings' nag screen being shown too often.

Soon after we reported on these bugs, Microsoft pushed out what appears to be a configuration change, and users are now saying [1, 2] that the bugs are fixed after restarting the browser.

When Microsoft Edge launches, it will connect to Microsoft servers and download a configuration file specific to your device.

As we were affected by the bugs in the release of Microsoft Edge 91, we were able to test the new configuration changes, and the issues have been fixed on our end.

While it is not clear what Microsoft changed to fix these issues, you can now close the browser and restart it again for the fix to go into effect.
