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 Now the problem is the other way around. I've noticed my tabs not restoring when I reopened edge, found out the culprit was an open pwa. So basically edge sees that pwa as the last open tab and therefore forgets about the other tabs you closed. This should be fixed in chromium as it isn't the way pwa's should behave . Pwa's shouldn't be seen as tabs.
