On client side, run gpresult /force or sign out and sign in to force the policy get applied.
Make sure that the website format is like<https://www.google.com>
Then open cmd as administrator and type the command gpresult /h gp.html, checking if the gpo is applied.
In addition, go to registry and check if the website is added.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\Main]
"HomeButtonEnabled"=dword:00000001
"HomeButtonPage"="https://www.google.com/"
If registry is added and gpresult shows the policy is applied, then it is possible that the policy is conflict with other policies. Create a new domain account with no policy applied, then link the edge policy to have a try.

Hi,
Thank you for the response.
yes, i have tried these options, but no luck.
above reg key enables the home icon, after clicking the home button then it will open the link which i specified.
i just need when i open the edge browser the start page should be mine by default.
same GPO worked fine on another windows 10 which has the same version of the os.

My fault, the reg named "HomeButtonPage" is used to specify the website when you click home button.
If you have create such reg, delete them.
Run gpresult /h gp.html to save the report, so that we can view if the gp is applied on your machine. If you need help, you can upload the html file to a network drive and share the link here. Make sure that the domain user is listed at the ou which can get the policy. Or try to login with the user who login on another working windows 10,seeing if it works.
