Edge isn't continuing where I left off...

Hello. I have "Continue where you left off" selected in Edge's settings, but about half the time it's not opening those pages that I had opened previously. Not too big of a deal, but it's a little hassle to reopen those pages, assuming I remember which ones I had open. It hurts my productivity just a little. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, John, for the reply and info. I have Windows 10 Home, 20H2. I think that's the newest. I should've mentioned that the problem doesn't always occur after reopening Edge. Most of the time it loads the tabs that I had open before. Just once in a while it doesn't, and it's a little frustrating, but not too badly. I periodically open Task Manager for various reasons, but I don't know what you mean by closing all unnecessary services. I thought they all were necessary. lol

I can't replicate the issue since it doesn't always do it. I went ahead and did what you suggested.

Thanks again,

D. Denney
