Session restore should work with virtual desktops
Right now, if you have windows spread out across multiple virtual desktops and update (or apply a flag or something) it relaunches them on only one desktop. This is very messy and makes updating a ni...
pneenkoalabear Hmmm, interesting. A couple questions for you:

Thanks!

1. not sure how to answer this. I think I explained it thoroughly in my post but I'll provide instructions on how to repro below
2. I'm a general audience user.
3. It's not a specific flag or update that causes this behaviour. It's just something that happens anytime the browser is restarted and you do a session restore.
It's super easy to reproduce.
Step 1: Open Edge (or another Chromium based browser). Navigate to a page.
Step 2: Open a new window and navigate to another page.
Step 3: Open another window and another page.
Step 4: Go to the Windows 10 task view and drag each window to the "New desktop" button. Leave one window on your current desktop.
Step 5: Go back to that window and open a new tab and type in chrome://restart (it'll redirect to edge://restart) and then it'll automatically restore your session but open all 3 windows in the same virtual desktop.
