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

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.
