My installation of Edge used to (stress: used to) have a bar of icons
across the top of the home screen pointing to various often used web
pages. I'm not talking about the 'favorites' bar. These were
shortcuts to often used web sites. After the last push update, this
bar disappeared and I can't figure out how to restore it. Can
someone please help?
Small rant before I ask my question: It seems to me that every time I
install a Windows update, it changes settings or resets to defaults at
random on installed applications with no warning. Doesn't Microsoft have a QA department that's worth a damn to check on stuff like this before
pushing an update out to users?

What are your home tab and new tab settings?
When you open a new tab, do you see "Microsoft", the Bing search box,
and a gear icon (tab settings) at the top right of the document window?
You won't see this if you have an add-on controlling the new-tab page.
In tab settings, under Quick Links, is it Off, or 1 or 2 rows? You need
to show rows to see the quick links. Another way to get to the tab
config screen is shown below:

...
I'm not sure what you mean by a "bar" across the new-tab page. These
weren't shortcuts under the Bing search box, but instead actually at the
top of the document window? Might those shortcuts have been in a
toolbar, and not in the document window at all? Perhaps what you are
now missing is the Favorites toolbar.

Enable the "Show favorites bar" setting.

"Start home and new tabs" on the left, "new tab page" and
then the customize button.
This gives you, or seems to, control over everything.
In the 'show feed' area I chose headings. The other stuff
is up to your preferences.
