    Accidentally hit “Close Tab” when a program was downloading.


    Hi, I was downloading Visual Studio on Windows 10 when I was dumb and right clicked on the program and hit “Close Tab” as it was downloading. The program in the toolbar turned red. Also, before I clicked the button, the download window that shows the status of the download disappeared. If there is anyway to pull that window up again, please tell me. I am brand new to Windows 10 and I feel like there is an easy fix to this that I am unaware about. Thanks.

    Command line/tab

    QUESTION/suggestion:
    * Why not remember the last active tab?
    For example, if you are on tab 2 and close the program, then run it again, for the program to open tab 2 again. But if the -tab X command-line option is used, then the program goes to X tab, regardless of last active tab.

    Does that make sense?

    No plans to implement that. Many users (including me) look at tab 1, then click sensors tab 2 quickly and close the app. Expectation is that it will start at tab 1 again.
