When I right-click on a tab and the click on "reopen closed tab" the browser just closes.

Microsoft Edge | Tabs, address bar, and search | Windows 11

    Hi Sasha.

    Thanks for posting here in Microsoft Community, I understand that your browser closes unexpectedly when you right‑click a tab and select Reopen closed tab.

    When you click “Reopen closed tab,” Edge tries to read your recent session or tab history and if that data is corrupted or an extension or profile issue interferes the browser may crash instead of reopening the tab.

    Here's what you can do, first disable all extensions and test “Reopen closed tab” to rule out extension conflicts then re‑enable them one by one if the crash stops and if the problem persists, create a new Edge profile to check for profile corruption and either continue using the new profile or reset the original one.

    Also, May I know which browser you’re using and if this happens every time you try to reopen a tab?

    Best regards,

    April P.
