    I have accidently requested to close my Microsoft account and when I realized what I did I tried to log back in and it will not let me back in to it. I could really use the help. Thanks.

    accidental closure of browser

    Many a times hundreds of tabs are open in my browser window and I accidentally press a button on top left hand corner which I have encircled in screenshot below.
    I want to know is there a shortcut to open all those tabs in a single click or a key combination which have been accidentally closed by pressing this button.
    The browser I am using is Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0
    The button with an arrow to left side in the screenshot is one which I am referring to.

    Account Closure !!!

    When I log onto my Microsoft account all I get is this message. I cannot find an area to ask about account problems !!

    Make sure Merv​.##############​ is ready to close

    Before you mark this account for closure, you'll want to:
    • Cancel any subscriptions. You can cancel most – but not all – subscriptions

      through Microsoft Billing
      . For subscriptions that you can't find there, you'll need to go directly to the service itself.
    • Use all of your Skype credit. Your Skype credit (if any) will be lost on account closure. You may want to check about your Skype subscription and remaining Skype credit (if any)

      here
    • Use up your account balances Any balances that you have from Microsoft or Xbox gift cards might be lost when this account closes.

      Check account balance
    • Set up automatic email replies. During the waiting period, your Outlook.com inbox will still receive emails.

      Create an auto-reply
      to let people know that you're closing this account and tell them how to reach you instead.
    • Disable Reset Protection. If you have a Windows device with Reset Protection enabled, you should

      disable this here
      before closing your account. If you do not disable Reset Protection, your phone could become unusable after your account is closed.

    Just in case you change your mind, we wait 60 days before permanently closing an account. During the waiting period, this account is marked for closure but it still exists. To reopen it, you'll need to prove you're you using your current account security
    info.

    I have never asked nor do I want to close my account.

    How can I stop this message every time.
