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


    SUCCESS ! I could not Reset in Apps & features because Edge is not listed. So I used the brute force method. Deleted contents of this folder -

    *Arrow Reset Microsoft Edge to Default in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Browsers Email Tutorials

    C:\Users\%username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe and the ran powershell (admin) command - Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

    Opened Edge and a few tabs, checked the 'Always close ...' box and check registry and Voila, the entry is there and set to '0'

    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.
