37Restore Microsoft Edge “Close All Tabs” Prompt After Disabling it Accidentally.
Microsoft Edge shows the confirmation dialog below when you close the app with multiple tabs currently open. If you have dismissed the dialog after accidentally enabling the “Always close all tabs” option and clicking “Close all”, Edge will no longer show you the prompt from the next time, and the setting is saved to the registry.
Do you keep closing Edge completely when trying to close one tab? If so, in this guide, we'll show you the steps to bring back the close all tabs warning to prevent that from happening.
In Microsoft Edge, when you have multiple tabs open, the browser will display a "Do you want to close all tabs?" warning to prevent you from accidentally closing important tabs.
Usually, without a second thought, you immediately disable this feature checking the "Always close all tabs" option within the prompt. The only caveat is that Edge doesn't include a setting to re-enable the message if later on, you realize that it's a feature you need.
Luckily, if you find yourself frequently closing important tabs when you just intend to close a single tab, on Windows 10, there's at least one way to bring the warning back using the Registry.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to restore the close all tabs message when trying to close Microsoft Edge when you have multiple tabs open.
