How to set Microsoft Edge startup page(s) on many PCs in batches?

Question

_{Monday, September 5, 2016 3:20 PM}

I know that the setting of startup page(s) of Microsoft Edge is stored in the registry keys located below:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Protected - It is a violation of Windows Policy to modify. See aka.ms/browserpolicy"

There is a Reg_Binary value ProtectedHomepages is just stored the setting of the startup page(s) , anyway cannot be edited directly.
But if I export the .reg file from one PC, it only works on this PC, yet will not work on any other PCs.

Sigh...

As my saying of the third reply on my thread Edge vs. IE, why do I prefer IE?

Quote Begin
I can set the IE's start page by a batch file that its contents are as below:
SetIEStartPage.bat
reg add "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" /f /v "Start Page" /t REG_SZ /d "https://www.microsoft.com"
Yeah, to IE, I can do this by a batch file;
but anyway I can't do such to Edge!
Quote End

Please teach me - how to set the Microsoft Edge startup page(s) on many PCs by a batch file or any approaches in batches (just like in IE)?

Hi ,

To be honest, I have not found any script to setup Microsoft Edge home page on my side. I found a similar case as shown below, some user has tried and captured the registry but seem like no keys is responsible for this setting directly, please check it and see Deason Wu's reply.

If you still want a batch file to setup Microsoft Edge home page, we have a specific script forum, they may have more resource to help you.

In fact, Microsoft has release some available policies for Microsoft Edge. If you are using Windows 10, Version 1511 or later, we could also consider Configure Home pages with Group Policy settings, please check the following link for detailed information.
