MicrosoftTabs gone after WindowsUpdate reboot. How to get all tabs back?
Sometimes I get question if I want to open last tabs, but lately WindowsUpdates are rebooting my machine and then all my tabs are lost and no question if I want to recover them. (I had been doing research for several days with 50 tabs open)
Is there a way to manually open previous set of tabs I had before the reboot?
Why is there no question if I want to restore when I open Edge Chromium the first time after reboot?
rokasklydzia10 The issue should be resolved now! It may happen one last time as the fix takes hold, but then you should be good to go. It looks like you may also be using an outdated version of Microsoft Edge, so I'd recommend updating to the latest version in order to get the fix: edge://settings/help

Hi there, you are welcome to the Microsoft Edge Insider Community!
Yes, there is a manual way to restore all closed tabs at once by using the reopen closed window feature by right-clicking on the New tab or on the titlebar and clicking Reopen closed window in the Context Menu.
NiklasETheShaunSaw Thanks! I will try this Ctrl+Shift+T the next time I reboot. It didn't work now, but I guess I need to do it directly after first startup.
- is there a way to do this through editing files because after an update it got rid of the settings I had set up to open last browsing session?
Hi,
Do you know if this issue has been resolved?
I just now restarted my computer after a Windows update ant both my tabs and browser history in Edge are gone. The option to open recently closed tabs was greyed out - it was the first thing I checked. I don't know which version of Edge I was using, but I'm guessing it was updated as well, because I get a prompt under the address bar to press "Complete setup" or "Maybe later".
What can be done? Can I at least find my history somewhere?
My current version of Edge is Version 85.0.564.67 (Official build) (64-bit)

Program Manager & Community Manager - Microsoft EdgeWhy does Microsoft CONTINUE to mess with things? I had all my tabs set to my specification and once again Microsoft went in and "Something explicit here starts with F and ends well you get it". everything up. STOP we don't care. Leave our stuff ALONE. Not happy. Apples looking better and better every day.

Hi! I know this thread is kinda old right now, but I had the same problem as rokasklydzia10. I've just restarted my computer and usually there's a pop-up that says "Restore Tabs", but this time it didn't. I've had many windows up that are for research and some of them, I look at once in a while for review so they don't show up on the recently deleted tabs since they only got deleted by the restart.
Is there any way to get these tabs back? Some of them were pretty important...
Thanks
- I have exactly the same issue - please could someone advise ASAP
NiklasE Thanks for reaching out. To confirm, were you switched to the new version of Microsoft Edge after the Windows Update, or had you already been using it? If the former, had you been using the "Set tabs aside" feature? And if the latter, what version have you been using? (You can check it here: edge://settings/help).

Deleted I have been using new Edge for a while now so been using it before the last update+reboot, but not sure if I installed the new before or after upgrade to Windows 10-2004.
about: Microsoft Edge is up to date.Version 83.0.478.45 (Official build) (64-bit)
I see now that on startup is set to this: "Open a specific page or pages"
I will change it to "Continue where you left off" and see if this helps in settings.
NiklasE Ok great, that checks out. Yes, please let us know how that setting change works for you, and we'll investigate further if it happens again!

Deleted Hi Fawkes. I saw this when browsing for a solution. Do you know the solution to reopen tabs that were closed after edge updated? They disappear from the "reopen closed tabs" button. This isn't to do with a windows reboot by the way. Thank you.
Edit: I'm new to mtc, so am not sure if this has been posted in the wrong place.
