There is a bug in Edge browser. I have set "Keep Edge window open when you close the last tab" to "Enabled" in the Appearance settings, but when I press the shortcut “Ctrl+W”, the browser still closes instead of keeping the last tab open.

Microsoft Edge | Tabs, address bar, and search | Windows 11

    Hi,

    This has already been reported in this thread. You can refer to my reply there for details and a possible workaround. I also recommend submitting a report by pressing Alt + Shift + I so it can be addressed in a future update.
