Description

This policy gives an option to hide the "Restore pages" dialog after Microsoft Edge has crashed. The "Restore pages" dialog gives users the option to restore the pages that were previously open before Microsoft Edge crashed. If you enable this policy, the "Restore pages" dialog isn't shown. In the event of a crash, Microsoft Edge doesn't restore previous tabs and starts the session with a new tab page. If you disable or don't set this policy, the "Restore pages" dialog is shown. If you set this policy, don't set the 'ClearBrowsingDataOnExit' (Clear browsing data when Microsoft Edge closes) or 'SavingBrowserHistoryDisabled' (Disable saving browser history) policy since that prevents history from being saved which also disables the dialog.
