Problem/Bug with PWAs NOT keeping Edge tabs open on relaunch

Copper Contributor

My comments here take the flip side of this post:

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/discussions/problem-bug-with-pwas-keeping-edge-tabs-open-on-r...

 

My browser is set to restore my tabs when I restart. I have Outlook.com installed as a PWA. 

 

If I close the PWA first and then close my browser, all tabs are correctly restored. However, if I close the browser and then the PWA, the tabs are not restored when I reopen the browser. I can get them back using CTRL + SHIFT + T but I shouldn't have to do this.

 

Bottom line is that the "on startup" option should disregard PWA's or any browser sessions that do not have tabs (modal?).

Hi,
Which browser channel and version are you using?
edge://settings/help

Sorry I didn't respond. I must have missed the alert. I'm on the latest release of the dev build.

Oh it's okay, have you updated to the latest one that got released few hours ago?

Yes, same issue occurs. I have Outlook PWA open and my normal browser. I close normal browser and then Outlook. Reopen the browser and all tabs are gone (CTRL + SHIFT + T to restore). If I flip the process (close Outlook and then the browser) and the tabs are retained.

 

I think Edge needs to be made aware that a PWA is being closed and, if so, ignore tab settings.

I think the problem is resolved. I uninstalled the Outlook PWA and then reinstalled it. I also unpinned all Edge apps from the taskbar and repineed them. Now the tabs are retained properly regardless of which app I close first.

 

Thanks for you help!
