Steps to reproduce
In newer versions of Windows, there's a desktop shortcut for "Learn about this picture". Right-clicking on it creates a modal window with a "Learn more" button. Clicking that button opens the link in my default browser, but it produces a 400 error. This appears to be due to some of the URL parameters being omitted when opened in the default browser.
For this particular background, my default browser was opened to:
https://www.bing.com/spotlight?spotlightid=DS_WallsNorthYorkshire
While with redirect turned off, Edge was opened to:
https://www.bing.com/spotlight?spotlightid=DS_WallsNorthYorkshire&q=Yorkshire+Dales%2C+England&FORM=MC13ER
Opening the Edge URL in my browser worked just fine, so I believe MSEdgeRedirect might just be stripping out the extended parameters after &.

Now they work but I'm not being redirected to the search engine of my choice.
I can get this added, but you'll lose the overview spotlight page
