How can I get Edge to restore all the tabs I had open last session?
Launching Microsoft Edge on Windows 11
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Apart from configuring it in Settings, you can also use the --restore-last-session command line parameter.
For example, set the Target in a shortcut to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe" "--restore-last-session"
Yes, Nathan, has happened to me at least twice now. I've just lost 100 tabs AGAIN. I know I shouldn't have all these open but it's how I operate, unfortunately. Great for reference. However, I would like to know how to get back all tabs lost in one 'chunk' when on Edge for Android. If there's currently not a way to achieve this, PLEASE build it into a near future version!!!!!
FYI: Ctrl+Shift+T in Edge desktop has saved my bacon several times to restore clumps of lost tabs! Just in case you haven't tried that.
Brilliant !!!!!! It just worked for me, I was going NUTS!!!! thank you so much.
Doesn't help me Im not on Edge for Android
I've experienced a problem that causes me to lose ALL open tabs. This happened to me more than once.
Sometimes, Edge opens a window that remains hidden behind the main one (where I have ALL the tabs open). When I close Edge (by clicking the X on the right of the upper panel), I am confronted with that "parasite" windows, that was open. Result:
I close that window, but then ALL the session information is lost, because the last window closed is the "parasite" window. Next time I open Edge, I have just the Home tab open. Giong to History doesn't solve anything because most of the tabs were not touched for several sessions, and are not registered in History (which, OTOH, registers several tabs I opened and closed in the last session).
IMO, there should be an option to Restore Session (the same way we have when we shut down the computer with Edge open).
There used to be now you have to put your most used tabs in collections and even then if you've saved them as a group it won't allow you to select a named group so you end up having to put them in a group again. Sometime later you come back and have to use collections to reopen them, nut at least its a way of getting those tabs back.
