Steps to reproduce
When clicking on the newly added lock screen weather widget (enabled with vivetool /enable /id:47526873 /variant:1 /variantpayloadkind:1 /variantpayload:1
) the default browser (Chrome in this case) tries to load a link beginning with https://ntp.msn.com/edge/ntp?cm=en-us&ocid=widgetonlockscreen...
and fails.
Opening it directly in Edge loads correctly
✔️ Expected Behavior
Maybe Edge should open this page (as it seems to be special page in Edge) or Chrome should open a weather forecast
❌ Actual Behavior
Chrome fails with error 404

No response
Can confirm. Looking into alternatives
Looks like NTP stands for "New Tab Page" which gets redirected to a "new tab" in Edge. I'll have to see what all parameters the new tab page accepts and redirect them accordingly.
