However, at the same time something else happened I lost my download history and as we all know, ver. That is what I usually do, and what I think I did back then. Back then Fx crashed for some reason, and as we know it can then offer to restore the previous session, which might cause a new crash, so one can opt for a new session instead. This happened around two months ago, with version 20 (now running Fx 22). Obviously, I have not used CCleaner, or similar software, when I try this and I have not set Fx to clear the (browsing) history on exit (or using private browsing). If anything comes from it, I will either update the question or if I can resolve the problem, I will republish the answer here myself.As the subject says when I start Fx the option to restore previous session is greyed out. Please don't link to this Microsoft Answer I just created it. Here is a Piriform Speccy profile of my system: Update 3 At this point I truly believe this to be a bug in Windows and some how connected to the Spring Update 1. This also means if I were to reset IE11, I likely would still have the problem. By doing this, I had a minimal user profile and ruled out any issues with my current profile.

I was asked about which specific version I have installed currently: If I manually end this process, IE will always load the previous session. Here is this "ghost" process that uses 0% of my CPU and only 29.3MB of memory. What is interesting is that this process does not show up within Process Explorer. If I don't, then IE11 is unable to load the previous session. If I manually end this process, IE11 can restore the previous session. I noticed that after closing Internet Explorer 11 an Internet Explorer process would remain running after the IE11 window was closed. Some additional information was discovered during some additional troubleshooting. I normally can figure a problem like this out.Īt this point, I am stumped, and my head is sore from all the scratching I have been doing. I actually first noticed this problem today when IE11 didn't request to load my previous session ( this happen if you have a certain number of tabs ). Does anyone have any ideas on how to restore IE to start with my previous session? The problem I encountered I wasn't able to find anyone with this problem after they installed the Spring Update. I have attempted to look for people with similar problems.

As you can see, the feature is indeed enabled.Īfter I close IE11 here is the startup session: The first thing I attempted to do was toggle the feature on and off. This feature was working last Saturday today. I recently installed the Spring Update 1 ( the day it was released ) on my Windows 8.1 installation.
