"Continue where you left off" does not work


Description of the issue:

“Continue where you left off” startup option is not working. Recently closed tabs won’t automatically restore when relaunching Brave browser.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Open at least 2 tabs then search for anything.
  2. Close Brave Browser then relaunch it.
  3. All tabs are gone. Only the default tab is open.

Expected result:

Brave opens all tabs that have been opened last time when the browser was closed.

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Version 1.58.137 Chromium: 117.0.5938.153 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Additional Information:

This issue does not exist on my PC with WIN10. However, recently I started using laptop with WIN11 and the issue occurs. The thing is, that this sometimes works and sometimes it does not (mostly it doesn’t).

I have tried:

  • clearing cache
  • clearing history
  • deleting extensions
  • changing to “open the new tab page” and closing the browser, opening browser again, changing to “continue…” and closing + opening again

None of the above worked. To give you more info, I have full sync switched on.

I hope you will be able to help me with this, because frankly speaking, this is a must have for me and I do not imagine using brave without this feature.

if you are using this, what you ask will not work
