Mastering Microsoft Edge: How to Close Multiple Tabs Without the Hassle

Thanksgiving is a time for family gatherings, delicious feasts, and—if you’re anything like me—the inevitable tech challenges at Grandma’s house. One such issue I’ve encountered this holiday season involves the overwhelming number of tabs open in Microsoft Edge. With my grandmother’s browser displaying a staggering 438 tabs, it’s no wonder that the application struggles and frequently freezes.

The Challenge of Overwhelming Tabs

Trying to navigate settings or close these tabs individually has proven impossible due to the sluggish performance. As a result, I find myself searching for a more efficient solution to close all these tabs and ensure they don’t reopen when Edge launches again.

Seeking Shortcuts to a Fresh Start

Is there a keyboard shortcut that can swiftly close the entire application? Additionally, how can I relaunch it without restoring those numerous tabs? Regrettably, recommending a different browser seems impractical at this stage, especially since downloading alternatives would require a functioning Edge.

System Specifications

For context, I’m utilizing Windows 10 on an Acer Aspire E1. This setup may be relevant when exploring possible solutions.

Request for Help

If anyone has insights or tips on how to tackle this tab overload effectively, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Let’s close those tabs and enjoy Thanksgiving without the tech stress! Thank you in advance for your help!
