is it possible to disable the "Restore pages" message?

Expierenced this issue after a window11 update. Tried all the usual fixes in the browser. Finally ran a few virus checks and hunter killers. All browsers (Edge, Chrome, FireFox) start right up and do not want to restore. NewbUser 

NewbUser I have found that by going to settings, and then "Start, Home, and New Tabs", that I can delete pages from starting up. There are actually 3 options for Edge startup. The first option is Open new tab page, second option is Restore Pages, 3rd options is Open These Pages. I had a long list of pages that kept opening up on the 3rd option and so I delete most of them. I closed Edge, opened it back up, and this time only a few pages, the ones I left in the list on the 3rd option. I'm guessing pages get added if I do not close them out before exiting out of Edge. I also did not get the Restore Pages pop up.

NewbUser from reading this post it looks like there is not a baked in setting to do this or even a reg hack. However here is some powershell code I found that will close all edge processes, including open windows, gracefully. By gracefully I mean once the windows close and I reopen them I do not see the restore pages prompt. Also I tested this with Close-Process in powershell and found that the restore pages prompt still appears on reopening edge.

$edgeProcesses = Get-Process msedge -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

if($edgeProcesses.Count -le 0)
{
    Write-Verbose -Verbose "No edge processes were found"
    #exit
}

while($edgeProcesses.Count -gt 0)
{
    foreach($process in $edgeProcesses)
    {
        $process.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null
    }

    $edgeProcesses = Get-Process msedge -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}

NewbUser This was bugging (pun intended) me too. I'm using Windows 10 with Edge, so YRMV, but this worked for me:

Open your browser. Click on the 3 dots all the way to the top right of the screen. 

Click on "Settings"

Click "System"

At the top right, turn off "Startup Boost"

If you have an old school hard drive, this might slow down startup of your browser a bit, but if you have a SSD, probably won't notice a difference.
