Windows 10: Closing all open tabs by mistake

Hello there! I know I have seen similar posts as this regarding the unfortunate propensity of Windows 10 to close all open tabs without any warning when the top right 'X' is clicked. Until recently a warning appeared asking if I wanted to close all tabs or just the current tab. That warning no longer appears, and the registry hack makes no difference. I think I read that Microsoft were addressing this problem, but so far, no joy. I know it's my fault, but as I've been a Windows user since the heady days of Windows 1 in the mid 1980's and am no longer in the first flush of youth, it's a hard habit to break. This is particularly true since some of my other programs are still shut down with the good old 'X". Is there any news that Microsoft are listening to their users? As I said, I know it's my fault and it's a habit I am trying to break, but I don't see that the developers having removed that warning in that recent "update" streamlines Win 10 in any way whatsoever, and in fact increases users' frustration especially we older ones who are somewhat fixed in our ways. Any news will be good news.

:)

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?

 

Command line/tab

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.
