Still has an issue even with the clear history on close set. After exiting and opening again at a later time. the last opened tab is shown. It should only show the selected home page and close all tabs from a previous session.

  GlennR1490 which version of Edge are you running? We recently made some improvements to Edge85 which should be coming soon!

    This is not a new issue. Simply go to a few web pages. Close the app. Reopen the app and the last tab will appear and not the designated home page.
