Action to take on Microsoft Edge startup

Specify how Microsoft Edge behaves when it starts. If you want a new tab to always open on startup, choose 'RestoreOnStartupIsNewTabPage'. If you want to reopen URLs that were open the last time Microsoft Edge closed, choose 'RestoreOnStartupIsLastSession'. The browsing session is restored as it was. This option disables some settings that rely on sessions or that perform actions on exit (such as Clear browsing data on exit or session-only cookies). If you want to open a specific set of URLs, choose 'RestoreOnStartupIsURLs'. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 125, if you want to reopen URLs that were open the last time Microsoft Edge closed and open a specific set of URLs, choose 'RestoreOnStartupIsLastSessionAndURLs'. Disabling this setting is the same as leaving it not configured. Users can change it in Microsoft Edge.
