    That is not at all the screen I see when I click Settings in Edge. There is no “Open Microsoft Edge with” option on my Settings screen.

    Just press Ctrl+Shift+T (reopen last closed tab), until the whole last session gets restored.

    Except these settings do not appear in Edge. It seems MS has removed that functionality and the only way to restore edge is via PowerShell or a Command prompt. Type Start MSEdge –Restore-last-session and hit enter.
