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...
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-edge

There 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.
As of recent updates, the problem has stopped occurring for me. There's still no setting as far as I can tell, but I no longer get nagged about restoring tabs every time I open the browser on a different device.
- What recent updates are you referring to?
What build are you using?
I'm having the same issues and always update Edge.
