Windows 10: Edge asks to close all tabs with only one tab open

V1809 with the last Tuesday update. When closing Edge, it always asks to close all tabs even though there is only one tab open.

Edge opens with old tabs


Must of happened after the last update, maybe.
I'll have 2 or 3 tabs open.
I red X and get the "Do you want to close all tabs?"
Close all and everything closes.

Reopen Edge and I have the same tabs open.
I've restored Edge to defaults.

In "Open Microsoft Edge with" I have:

"A specific page or pages"
http://www.google.com"

Open new tabs with
"Top sites and suggested content"

My laptop has exactly the same settings without the problem.

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?

 

Turn On or Off Ask to Close All Tabs in Microsoft Edge in Windows 10


"If you don't mind, post a screenshot showing this registry key location to see if anything else may stand out as unusual. "

Still not sticking. Here's reg w/your key added, no problem closing all tabs by clicking 'X' in upper-R corner of Edge, no message.




Now, re-open Edge with several tabs open. Click 'X' and message appears again. Filled in 'Always close ***' and closed Edge. Here's screen before closing, you see dialog box again




Refreshed View of registry and, as you can see, key is now gone again.




Just an annoyance but I know that on every other browser, ticking the box lets me close all by simply clicking 'X' in upper R. Any help or suggestions welcome and Thanks.
