When exiting Windows 10´s new Edge Browser you might end up always closing all open tabs. Here is full control about that feature and how to turn it back to default.
Method One: How to disable “Do you want to close all tabs” in Microsoft Edge
Method Two: How to enable or disable “Do you want to close all tabs” using a REG file
The “Do you want to close all tabs” dialog
When you leave Microsoft Edge it is asking you if you want to close all tabs. If by chance you select Always close all tabs you will not be asked again in the future. To force Microsoft Edge again to remember your open tabs on the next start, you have to set a registry key.
A) Enabling automatic closure of all tabs in Microsoft Edge
Click on exit in Microsoft Edge when you are browsing more than one website. When the “Do you want to close all tabs?” dialog appears, check the Always close all tabs and click Close all.
B) Enabling / Disabling automatic closure of all tabs in Microsoft Edge using a .REG file
With the REG-file below you can apply the setting with a double-click. It will switch a registry key that decides if the “Do you want to close all tabs”- dialog will be shown.
