Edge browser opens a new tab before restoring workspaces on startup

Question

I use Microsoft Edge to save and manage my tabs as workspaces. On my work account, when I start Edge, it neatly restores all my workspaces automatically. However, on my personal accountr, Edge opens a new tab first before restoring my workspaces, which is quite inconvenient.

Both accounts are set to "Open tabs from the previous session" under the basic settings. I've also checked the flags but couldn't find a solution.

How can I configure Edge on my personal account to directly restore my workspaces without opening a new tab first?

Hi @SM isme,

I used a personal account (outlook account) on my device to test the problem you described. I also set "Open tabs from the previous session" in Edge settings. Then, I reproduced the same problem (including a new tab) as you. As you know, this situation does not occur in the work account. However, I think that since Edge (from Edge stable version 120) has only recently provided workspaces for personal accounts, it is in the initial stage of development. So, I can't tell you for sure whether this is by design or something else. My only suggestion is that you can click "dislike" in the workspace to submit feedback. You can also refer to this official document.
