Tabs 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 res...

    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 It looks like you may also be using an outdated version of Microsoft Edge, so I'd recommend updating to the latest version in order to get the fix: edge://settings/help

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).

    I am using 

    Microsoft Edge Version 92.0.902.62 (Official build) (64-bit)
    and have lost my history. Any suggestions? This occurred after my computer shut down. Normally I have the option to restore history, but it is gone.

    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.

      NL1232155 Welcome to the community! The MSFT Edge Insider forums primarily focus on issues that users of our https://www.microsoftedgeinsider.com/en-us/download encounter, but we're always happy to help either way. Can you please confirm:

      1. What version of MSFT Edge are you using? (You can find that here: edge://settings/help )
      2. Did you opt to import your browsing history during the update?

    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  It seems to work fine last weeks after later updated builds. Today e g now with these builds: 
        85.0.564.63 (Official build) (64-bit)
        86.0.622.38 (Official build) (64-bit)

        I will keep on testing other canary/beta build also in parallel now. 

        If signed in to my account does this settings auto-propagate to all my computers or I need to watch out when installing new machines? (I use a couple of different machines and test newer Windows 10 builds also on regular basis switching installations quite often. )
