    Hi,

    To prevent unpinned tabs from repinning in Windows 11, you can try this, start by adjusting Edge’s startup settings: go to Settings, then Start, Home, and New Tabs, and under When Edge starts, choose Open tabs from the previous session so only pinned tabs are preserved. Next, disable background apps in Edge by going to Settings, then System and Performance, and turning off Continue running background apps when Microsoft Edge is closed, which can interfere with tab behavior. Then, clear Edge’s cache and disable extensions by navigating to Settings, Privacy, Search, and Services, selecting Clear Browsing Data, and turning off extensions, as corrupted cache or conflicting extensions can cause tabs to repin unexpectedly. Finally, if the issue persists, repair or reset Edge through Settings, Apps, Installed Apps, Microsoft Edge, Modify, and then Repair or Reset to restore default functionality while keeping favorites and passwords, ensuring a fresh, stable tab environment.

    Kind regards,

    Hi,

    If Excel files open on Windows but not on your Android devices, the issue could be due to file format, corruption, app cache, or account conflicts. First, ensure the files are saved in a supported format like .xlsx and, if necessary, use Windows Excel’s Open and Repair feature to fix any corruption. Next, clear the Excel app cache on your Android device to remove temporary data that might block opening files. Also, confirm you are signed into the correct Microsoft account linked to your Office 365 subscription, as some files may require authentication. Finally, make sure the file isn’t open elsewhere, as a locked file can prevent access on mobile. These steps usually resolve the most common causes of Excel files failing to open on Android.

    Kind regards,
