This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable Ask before closing a window with pinned tabs in Microsoft Edge for your account in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
The Microsoft Edge web browser is based on Chromium and was released on January 15, 2020. It is compatible with all supported versions of Windows, and macOS. With speed, performance, best in class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
If you often visit the same few websites, you can pin them in Edge for easy access.
If you turn on Ask before closing a window with pinned tabs, you will be presented with a Do you want to close all tabs? confirmation dialog when you close a Microsoft Edge window with pinned tabs open.
