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 It looks like you may also be using an outdated version of Microsoft Edge, so I'd recommend updating to the latest version in order to get the fix: edge://settings/help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

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)

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
