is it possible to disable the "Restore pages" message?
Edge boots with a restore pages message constantly, which doesn't go away unless you click on it. There seem to be many options to disable it on chrome and chromium, but haven't found any that wo...
Well, I know it gets real annoying with Restore Pages or Sessions. Instead of disabling it completely, what if the the "Restore pages or session" messages popup, but instead what if change it into some of timed box or slide over menu message appeared from three dot menu or top right corner and automatically after five to ten seconds or so it automatically disappear.
So, this way getting annoyed by it and waiting for to be closed how about let it disappear automatically.

It's unclear to me why it should be appearing at all.
If I crash with tabs open and want to get them back, I'll go to history and re-open them.
But this message pops up when no session has been abnormally terminated, so it's doubly irritating to not be able to turn it off.
- I think the problem may be due in part to the use of extensions that keep Edge running in the background. I haven't had the opportunity to test this much, but it's a hypothesis: Edge doesn't shut down properly when certain extensions are installed, triggering the restore sessions message.
In any case, there is a registry 'hack' that has, so far worked for me. Information here: https://www.technipages.com/how-to-disable-restore-pages-prompt-in-microsoft-edgeThere is no such registry option in Win 11, and this issue persists unfortunately.
Looks like Microsoft removed the registry entry, but didn't fix the problem.
Crazy!- That hack stopped working for me in Windows 10 also, so... it was probably only effective for an older version of Edge.
