My Restore Pages Notification in Edge DISAPPEARED!!

Hi SuuanSong,

I'm Paul and I'm here to help you with your concern.

Can you please check the edge start settings first?

Open MS Edge Settings > Start, Home, and new tabs > under When Edge starts, select Open tabs from the previous session.

Hi Paul,

After the accident happened, I have changed from "Open a new tab" to "Continue where you left off".

And what else should I do?

Then it should open the tabs that were left open from your last session.

May I know if you have the latest Microsoft Edge version?
To check Open MS Edge > click the 3 dots > click Help & Feedback > click About Microsoft Edge.

Actually it still cannot restore my lost pages...

My Edge version is 92.0.902.73

Sorry for the delayed response.


It seems that you have the latest Microsoft Edge.

Anyway, please try the solutions below.

1. Reset Microsoft Edge settings to default.

Open MS Edge Settings > click Reset Seetings > click reset settings to their default values >click Reset.


2. Uninstall and reinstall MS Edge.

Follow the uninstall guide from the link below.

This is absurd. The OP (and I) want to get our lost pages back.

Are you really saying that reinstalling Edge will bring back the lost pages?

It sounds like you're following a script for "how to turn on restore pages" and you don't understand the problem.

The pages were lost. The user (and I) didn't manually turn off the restore pages option. It was working before. Yet we lost our pages.

Restore pages data is stored somewhere, I need to dig up the information. It might be possible to somehow trick edge into using it.

@BenRup It IS absurd. On or about 8/26/21 Windows did a forced update and reboot and in the process moved Edge to the newest version, which lost all my open tabs and there is no way to get them back except perhaps some convoluted process. Above, on 8/14/21, Paul Navera is telling us "Open MS Edge Settings > Start, Home, and new tabs >" but there is no such "Start, Home, and new tabs" in settings any longer. This is a disgraceful situation where even the advisors don't know. I will no longer use Edge. I would delete it from my computer but the system won't allow it.

I have also recently suffered lost open documents in Office. After the 8/26 forced update, Office retained my open documents. But then Office did something on its own after 8/26 EVEN THOUGH I WENT INTO SETTINGS ADVANCED OPTIONS AND TOLD THE SYSTEM NO UPDATES UNTIL OCTOBER 1. I also lost all the open documents from Acrobat. (I have them all on my computer but I need to figure out what I had open)

I bought this computer in April of 2017. My next computer will NOT be a Microsoft Windows machine. I will either go back to Apple as their prices are now more reasonable or I will get a Linux OS. Over the past years, Microsoft has caused me so much time loss with its forced updates causing me to lose open tabs and open documents.

I went away from the computer for 2 hours and all the previously open Word documents (there were 8) have reappeared in the sidebar without any action on my part. Back in the 90s, Unix was the ideal OS because it was so stable you could use it for months at a time without a crash. That's what I want. I hold a graduate degree and professional license and I am pursuing a higher graduate degree. I have multiple ongoing projects and I want only want to upgrade when I reach a milestone in my work so I can close all the windows in preparation to start the next stage. That's when I am ready for updates. Because MS forces me to update every 90 days or so, it's like an OS that crashes regularly every 90 days and the user has to recover from the crash. I think my next machine will be use Linux as the OS. Willing to give it a try.
