How to restore session in Microsoft Edge

Question

I am using Windows 10 operating system, and yesterday I have installed the latest update version 1511. Everything is working ok, except I lost all open tabs in Microsoft Edge br

Answer 1

Just want to extend/enhance Gleb Derzkij's answer a bit, just in case it's a lot of tabs (in my case 32).

For step 4, it obviously also works, if you open the respective amount of tabs - 32 for me.

Just to clarify step 7: you have to rename each of the old, backupped files to one of the newly created ones. For that, you can use the cmd commands dir and rename.

7a) In the open %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AC\MicrosoftEdge\User\Default\Recovery\Active explorer window hit CTRL+L or F4 to go to the folder line

7b) enter cmd and hit ENTER to open a cmd in this directory

7c) enter dir /b to print out all file names in this directory and copy those

7d) repeat the same thing (7a-7c) for your backupped folder

7e) open a table calculation program (e.g. Excel) and paste first the "new tabs output" in Column A and then the "backup folder output" in B

7f) you now have a list of 32 (or your amount of) rows containing the generated, new and the backupped, old tab files in colums A and B

7g) copy the code ="rename "&A1&" "&B1 in cell C1

7h) copy C1 to the cells from C2 to C32 (or your amount). Excel automatically changes the references.

7i) you have all rename commands for all files in your backup folder. Just copy the whole column C and paste it in the backup folder cmd. All files are renamed properly.

7j) (task-)kill your Edge and drag/drop your backup back to the appdata folder. Replace all.

continue with step 8) ;-)

(you don't need 10 here)

Hope that helps for excessive tab users like me. Unfortunately, That Marc's answer didn't work for me.

Sorry for referencing between comments and answers, but you can read it far better here.
