The Microsoft Edge browser that comes by default with Windows 10 improved upon Internet Explorer in many ways. But it still retains many of the options and customizations that made Internet Explorer popular, including the ability to set a homepage and have a Home button at the top of the window. Home button usage and behavior has changed over time, however, and many people no longer have a need for it. That button is typically present in most Microsoft Edge installations, and its location makes it easy to click by mistake. Our guide below is going to show you how to change a setting in Microsoft Edge so that you can hide the Home button from the browser and avoid those accidental clicks.
