Losing the tab page after Edge restart may result in improper settings or system problems. 1. You need to enable the "Continue the page you opened when you closed the last time" option; 2. Avoid using "Exit Edge" and close the window directly; 3. Check whether the extension plug-in interferes with session recovery and try the traceless mode test; 4. Frequent crashes or forced shutdown may also affect session saving. You need to troubleshoot system problems and update the browser version.

Sometimes Microsoft Edge will lose its previous tab page or session after restarting, which is really annoying. It may not be an Edge bug, but a problem with the wrong settings or system level. Below are some common reasons and solutions that you can check one by one.

1. Check whether the "Continue Browsing" function is enabled

Edge sometimes does not automatically restore the last tab page by default, especially if you choose to exit instead of closing the window directly.

• Click the three dots in the upper right corner → Settings
• On the left, select "On startup"
• Check if the option is selected "Continue where you left off" (Continue where you left off)

If you choose "Open New Tab" or other options here, the session will naturally not be restored.

Tip: This setting is applicable on both Windows and macOS, but sometimes after syncing the account, it will be overwritten into the configuration on other devices.

2. Confirm whether “Exit” is accidentally used instead of “Close Window”

Many people are used to clicking on the X in the upper right corner to close the browser, but under some systems (especially Windows), if you use "Exit" (Exit) in the menu, the original tab page will not be restored the next time you open it.

• Next time try to close all windows directly, instead of clicking "Exit" in the menu
• Or use the shortcut key Ctrl Shift Q (Windows)/ Cmd Shift Q (Mac) to force the save session before exiting.

3. See if it's the extension plugin

Some ad blocking class extensions (such as uBlock Origin, ad terminal, etc.) may interfere with the browser's normal recovery session.

You can test it like this:

• Enter traceless mode (InPrivate / Incognito)
• Open a few web pages and restart Edge
• See if these tabs will be restored

If there is no problem in traceless mode, you can basically be sure that some extension affects normal behavior.

Solution:

• Uninstall suspicious extensions
• Or enable the setting of "Restrict Extensions to Run in the Background" (in the edge://extensions/ page)

4. Check whether Edge crashes frequently or is forced to close

If your computer has poor performance, or is often forced to shut down, power off, or blue screen, it may also cause Edge to fail to save the session status correctly.

Although this situation is rare, if you find that you will lose the tab page after each restart, and the above settings are fine, it may be a system-level problem.

suggestion:

• Update Edge to the latest version
• Check if there is any abnormal shutdown record in the system log
• Avoid opening hundreds of tabs at the same time, which can easily drag down memory and cause crashes

Basically these common situations. Most of the time, the settings are not turned on correctly, and occasionally it is a plug-in or system problem. You can start with the first item, and it can generally be solved.
