Can Edge "save" windows along with the groups/tabs and reopen them as they were when last closed?
Short Version: My workflow involves keeping 5 named windows each containing constantly updated groups/tabs. Edge is set to reopen everything at restart. But I'm afraid of accidently closing a window...

Doug_DdC441 Hey, click on three dots on top-right of the window you are in, you can see a menu that have options like New tab, New Window, New InPrivate Window, .........so on settings, Help and Feedback, Close Microsoft Edge.
Click on "Close Microsoft Edge" at any time you want to close all the Windows, and whenever you open Edge again, everything is retained as it is.
Also You can name each Window, by right-click on the title bar (the top bar for any window featuring the name of the current tab in the current Window) and then select "Name Window". - This will allow you to have different work area windows for different work and everything is retained if you close by clicking "Close Microsoft Edge" from the menu of 3 dots on top-right.

Do not use this method. In case of an unexpected shutdown or Windows/Edge update, all of your groups will be gone. The only way to save them, I know, is to create groups in "workspaces." I don't know why they don't implement a save groups feature that would free up memory and space in the tab section above.
