unstable startup of windows
"Windows Boot Issue: Need Help! Hey fellow Windows Insiders, I'm experiencing a weird issue with my laptop. When I start it up, Windows won't boot properly. I get a blank screen with the flight symbol and power symbol lights turned on. Both symbols are lit, but nothing happens for a few minutes to an hour, and then it automatically starts up. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any ideas what might be causing it? I've tried booting into Safe Mode and running a Startup Repair, but no luck so far. Laptop specs: Asus Tuf F15 FX507ZC4 Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,Open all tabs from previous session but load only last used one
I'm used to work with a lot of tabs organized in several groups and I don't want to lose such tabs when I close and then reopen Edge. This is achievable through settings and I've no complains over it. However, when I open Edge, I expect only the last used tab to load, or at most the tabs from the last group I was using. It is absurd that all the 50+ tabs, splitted in 10+ groups, are loaded all at once, making the startup process very slow. I come from Firefox, where all the tabs from the previous session appears, but only the last used one actually loads. The other ones are loaded only once the user browse on them. The very existence of groups assumes an user is expected to keep a lot of tabs open but to work only with a very small subset of them at a given time. So it's absurd to waste resources, increase power consumption and reduce startup performances by loading all the tabs from the last session, even if most of them will probably not be used.
About most proper way to report a Startup boost issue experienced whenever I suspend OS...
@ MS Edge Product Team, (please note that I just simply edited some content on 9/13 to only make some things clearer and obviously not to repost it at all, also if you should believe Enterprise might be a better board for posting then feel just free to redirect it there since I've no idea if I might be able to do this by my side...) since after I started only using 'accessory' features of 'Startup boost' (so meaning that only 'Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed' and 'Use hardware acceleration when available' were enabled) I noticed that whenever I was suspending OS (in memory), after I resumed it I could quite find these 2 things : a 1 byte ('flag') file 'edge_shutdown_crash.txt' simply containing "1" character (inside 'C:\Users\<myAlias>\AppData\Local\Temp'), a new 'GUID-like-name'.dmp crash file (i.e. like 9ae5f8e8-a11c-46e6-be43-0d1aa61d9a73.dmp; 67c6c17c-708c-48bf-9017-2eb7ac42f6e1.dmp, and please note these are real crash report names, probably last created ones, whose names I've been able to recover) added inside 'C:\Users\<myAlias>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Crashpad\reports' folder that I started monitoring manually after I experienced 1st dump little after I installed Edge Enterprise (Stable) (it was even also self-reported by an Edge wizard that asked me for approval before sending it). If I'm recalling things correctly I probably found 'Use hardware acceleration when available' already enabled since the beginning and left so (unless I enabled it), then after I better also checked that 'Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed' was available too I enabled it to also possibly get resulting benefits too. I started seeing issue with Edge (Enterprise) v92.0.902.73 (Official build) (64-bit), while now I'm on v93.0.961.38 (Official build) (64-bit) but decided to disable 'Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed' after checking that number of .dmp files into ...\Crashpad\reports was only growing even if 'Help improve Microsoft products by sending optional diagnostic data about how you use the browser, websites you visit, and crash reports' was enabled since when I 1st installed Edge Enterprise and this also stopped new dump creation (at least only temporarily because this morning 09/13 I verified a new one was created because of resuming laptop suspended into memory even while simply only having 'Use hardware acceleration when available' still left enabled and about this I also updated another new discussion with even some more details). My problem is that I'm unsure if by using 'Send feedback' with [ Recreate my problem ] I can really provide you much more details of what I'm saying here because I'm unsure if diagnostic data recording can survive properly whenever my laptop OS gets suspended in memory, and then resumed. P.S. Last moment update, right before completing and publishing this post I checked again ...\Crashpad\reports and found that was empty 😮 so now I'm also wondering if all those reports were properly sent to you (as I would expect) or simply self cleaned to avoid wasting space (unless this simply happened because a newer version update was just queued and pending to be applied...). It also seems that every 'GUID-like-name'.dmp should also have a corresponding 'GUID-like-name'_crashinfo.txt saved in same folder but I never saw or found one there in that folder... Thanks in advance for any feedback or comments about this issue and/or for trying to clear some of my doubts. Rob
