shieldsit thanks so much for taking the time to respond to this issue. Your comment that perhaps this has to do with apps running in the background is super interesting to me. If you are still able to repro this in current canary builds of Edge, I'd love to dig in a bit. Can you give me really specific repro steps I can try on my machine?

Hello, thanks for the response,
I can't reproduce this issue anymore
now i'm on
Edge insider Version 79.0.301.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
and Windows 10 fast ring build 18999
my Instagram and Spotify (both PWA) are open, when I close the Edge browser and reopen again, the NTP loads and the previously closed tabs won't come back anymore.

I think it's solved, at least in this build.

HotCakeX thanks for reporting this. Can you give me a little more information?

First, can you verify how you installed Spotify? Did you click the "..." menu and then Apps > "Install this site as an app" or maybe Apps > "Install Spotify"? Or did you go to the Microsoft Store and install from there?

Can you confirm that the issue with Edge opening all previously open tabs instead of just the new tab page only happens when you are running Spotify?

Thanks!
