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.

    I already gave the version from "about this app" and it is the latest from 3 days ago.  Attempting to use any edge://***** url will fail with an " invalid url" error.

    In any event, I did have " pickup where you left off" set so the issue with displaying the last tab is resolved.
    However, even with " clear on exit" set, my history is still displayed when I click on History.

      GlennR1490 Deeply sorry for the late response but I did want to let you know I filed a bug to investigate. When you close the app, are you using the "Exit browser" button in the "..." menu? This should kickoff a modal that warns you data will be cleared.

    Do you mind going to edge://settings/help and recording the version number from there? Also do you have any settings like "Continue where I left off" enabled inside settings?
