    prevent "web apps" from closing when edge close


    Hi,

    I have some site installed as apps, amazon prime for example, really useful.

    But when I close edge opened web apps close too.

    I already change "Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed" to "On", but nothing change.

    Is it a known problem, Is there a workaround?

    Thanks

    Windows 10 x64 pro version 2004 (19041.685)

    Edge Stable Version 87.0.664.60

    :)

    How to close edge that is locked into a hostile web page?

    • if it will let you, click on the 3 dots on the top right and go to settings, under 'open with' make sure that previous pages is not selected.
    • close Edge using Task Manager
    • search for a web address in Cortana (eg type www.google.co.uk into Cortana)
      Edge will open with your selected sit and the dodgy one, do not click on any other tabs.
    • close edge in the normal way (i.e. click the X)

    Edge should now open normally, you can change the setting back if you wish.

    [edit] if it wont let you do step 1 do steps 2&3 then start at 1 again

    Problem with closing a web tab/site


    I have an issue i can easily fix when using windows 7 IE but this edge is another issue but anyways here it goes.

    With windows 7 when i have an issue with a web page that a pop up locks me into that screen and I cannot close that web window I can easily open task manager and end that 1 window without closing any other open web sites i was currently on but I can't figure out how to do the same with windows 10 edge.

    With windows 10 edge i have to reboot the pc because even when ending the microsoft edge process then re openeing edge all the opened web sites are still there including the one that prevents me from doing anything as i am unable to close any of the web windows unless i reboot

    Internet Not Working in Edge & Windows Store Apps, Edge Won't Close

    I've been having this problem since I upgraded to the creator's update. Sometimes everything works perfectly, but most of the time I have these issues:

    • Edge won't connect to internet or load anything
    • I can't close tabs in Edge
    • The "Close all tabs" option in edge doesn't work, only closes 1 tab
    • I can only get Edge to close using Task Manager
    • Windows Store apps like Twitter and Netflix won't connect and also sometimes won't close
    • I can't check for Windows updates through settings (won't connect again)

    The internet works on third party apps that weren't downloaded in the Windows Store, like Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Spotify. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or how I could fix it? Thanks so much!
