Windows 10 Alt Tab Edge Tabs

This question does not appear to be about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers. If you believe the question would be on-topic on another Stack Exchange site, you can leave a comment to explain where the question may be able to be answered.
Edge browser, however, shows all its recent tabs i used as separate windows on this feature.so, if i have say 10 Edge tabs open on one Edge window and i used 4 of them this AM, i see all that 4 (non-sleeping tabs?) as separate windows when i do ALT-TAB, and not just as 1 window like the other browsers do.how to set Edge so that it shows by its windows, not each of its tabs on ALT-TAB?
If you have the complete opposite preference to mine, you can also instead embrace chaos and violence via the Open windows and all Edge tabs option. That means yes, all your Edge tabs become part of the Alt + Tab madness. You have 44 Edge tabs open? Well, now you have 44 additions to your task switcher lineup.
Updated note: The version of Microsoft Edge I experienced this problem with predates the switch to the Chromium under-pinnings, wherein this problem does not exist.
EG ControlShiftT should work for you.
I've closed a Microsoft Edge (25.10586.0.0) window that had multiple old tabs on it restored over multiple starts, while unawares that I'd minimized a single window with nothing important on it. Now if I quit edge, when I next start it with "reopen last session" it will only open the unimportant window and not the important (recently closed one).
I can try controlshiftT but it reopens only tabs specific to the remaining window's history.If I look in the history, which I cannot search, I am amazed to not see very many of the tabs I just closed. EG a Docker image for Apache Drill, some Github pages etc.
The same thing just happened to me (I had multiple windows open and accidentally closed one that had several important tabs). In a panic I searched for a way to restore the closed window, and came across this very question. From the other answer and the comments, my heart began to sink. But then I realized that they are outdated!
This is how it works in recent versions of Edge (which are based on Chromium). If you close a window containing more than 1 tab, and if you have yet to open any new tab in any other window, then you can reopen the closed window either by right-clicking on the tab area in any of the remaining open windows, or by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + T as indicated in the picture below.
While it's not as easy as simply clicking Exit on Chrome or Firefox you can indeed have many New Browser instances open, reboot and click Tabs You've Set Aside and successfully restore your previous browser state.
tl;dr Sometimes when I hit Left Alt+Tab in Microsoft Edge, I am switching to another tab (like I'd press Ctrl+Tab) instead of switching to some other app in Windows 10. This is terribly annoying and counter-productive. What is causing it (is this a bug or yet another Microsoft invention) and how to get rid of this?
I've been using Microsoft Edge for years on many PCs. Always without any problems. Since yesterday I have a brand new PC and I am getting and awfully weird experience in Edge. When when I hit Left Alt+Tab, instead of switching to another active app, I am rather switching to some other tab in Edge itself.
A closer look told me that for some reason beyond my imagination, my Edge shows some (but not all!) of my tabs as a separate tasks / processes / apps. And most likely this is causing all the problems.
Instead of showing (as expected) two elements in Task Manager, I can clearly see... seven items. For some reason six of fifteen tabs opened up in first windows are seen by Windows as a separate apps or tasks running.
You can download the Microsoft Security Compliance Toolkit for the recommended security configuration baseline settings for Microsoft Edge. For more information see the Microsoft Security Baselines Blog.
Starting in Microsoft Edge version 116, certain policies will not be applied to a profile that's signed in with a Microsoft account. For more information, please check the individual policy for details on whether it applies to a profile that is signed in with a Microsoft account.
If you enable this policy, all navigations from Edge, including navigations to untrusted sites, will be accessed normally within Edge without redirecting to the Application Guard container. Note: this policy ONLY impacts Edge, so navigations from other browsers might get redirected to the Application Guard Container if you have the corresponding extensions enabled.
If you enable or don't configure this policy, Application Guard will add an extra HTTP header (X-MS-ApplicationGuard-Initiated) to all outbound HTTP requests made from the Application Guard container.
Setting the policy lets you make a list of URL patterns that specify sites for which Microsoft Edge can automatically select a client certificate. The value is an array of stringified JSON dictionaries, each with the form "pattern": "$URL_PATTERN", "filter" : $FILTER , where $URL_PATTERN is a content setting pattern. $FILTER restricts the client certificates the browser automatically selects from. Independent of the filter, only certificates that match the server's certificate request are selected.
Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, that are allowed to perform multiple successive automatic downloads.If you don't configure this policy, DefaultAutomaticDownloadsSetting applies for all sites, if it's set. If it isn't set, then the user's personal setting applies.For more detailed information about valid URL patterns, see =2095322.
Define a list of sites, based on URL patterns, where multiple successive automatic downloads aren't allowed.If you don't configure this policy, DefaultAutomaticDownloadsSetting applies for all sites, if it's set. If it isn't set, then the user's personal setting applies.For more detailed information about valid URL patterns, see =2095322.
To allow third-party cookies to be set, specify a pair of URL patterns delimited by a comma. The first value in the pair specifies the third-party site that should be allowed to use cookies. The second value in the pair specifies the top-level site that the first value should be applied on. The first value in the pair supports * but the second value does not.
Cookies created by websites that don't match the pattern are controlled by the DefaultCookiesSetting policy (if set) or by the user's personal configuration. This is also the default behavior if you don't configure this policy.
This policy enables Data URL support for SVGUseElement, which will be disabledby default starting in Edge stable version 119.If this policy is Enabled, Data URLs will keep working in SVGUseElement.If this policy is Disabled or left not set, Data URLs won't work in SVGUseElement.
Set whether websites can perform multiple downloads successively without user interaction. You can enable it for all sites (AllowAutomaticDownloads) or block it for all sites (BlockAutomaticDownloads).If you don't configure this policy, multiple automatic downloads can be performed in all sites, and the user can change this setting.
Control whether websites can create cookies on the user's device. This policy is all or nothing - you can let all websites create cookies, or no websites create cookies. You can't use this policy to enable cookies from specific websites.
If you don't configure this policy, the default 'AllowCookies' is used, and users can change this setting in Microsoft Edge Settings. (If you don't want users to be able to change this setting, set the policy.)
Set whether websites can track users' physical locations. You can allow tracking by default ('AllowGeolocation'), deny it by default ('BlockGeolocation'), or ask the user each time a website requests their location ('AskGeolocation').
Disabling the JavaScript JIT will mean that Microsoft Edge may render web content more slowly, and may also disable parts of JavaScript including WebAssembly. Disabling the JavaScript JIT may allow Microsoft Edge to render web content in a more secure configuration.
Set whether websites can display desktop notifications. You can allow them by default ('AllowNotifications'), deny them by default ('BlockNotifications'), or have the user be asked each time a website wants to show a notification ('AskNotifications').
PluginsAllowedForUrls and PluginsBlockedForUrls are checked first, then this policy. The options are 'ClickToPlay' and 'BlockPlugins'. If you set this policy to 'BlockPlugins', this plugin is denied for all websites. 'ClickToPlay' lets the Flash plugin run, but users click the placeholder to start it.
Note: Automatic playback is only for domains explicitly listed in the PluginsAllowedForUrls policy. To turn automatic playback on for all sites, add http://* and https://* to the allowed list of URLs.
Setting the policy to "BlockWindowManagement" (value 2) automatically denies the window management permission to sites by default. This limits the ability of sites to see information about the device's screens and use that information to open and place windows or request fullscreen on specific screens.
Setting the policy to "AskWindowManagement" (value 3) by default prompts the user when the window management permission is requested. If users allow the permission, it extends the ability of sites to see information about the device's screens and use that information to open and place windows or request fullscreen on specific screens.
Setting the policy lets you list the URL patterns that specify which sites can ask users to grant them read access to files or directories in the host operating system's file system via the File System API.
If you set this policy, you can list the URL patterns that specify which sites can't ask users to grant them read access to files or directories in the host operating system's file system via the File System API.
