Hello, I am reaching and hoping someone might have an answer to help me out.

I had/was using Microsoft Edge for awhile and had about 5 windows open with about (X) amount of tabs and when the browser closed I did see the option to restore the recently closed windows, However I chose not to at that particular point in time and now it's been a few days and I would like to re-open those windows/tabs. I do not have it set for my browser to clear history upon closing and I haven't cleared history manually, So what I would like to know is there a certain time frame to which you will no longer be able to recovery those closed windows or if there is no time limit how can I go about re-opening the windows?

Yes, I know how to access my History log, but when I go to view recently closed windows, there is only 3 there from today. I have also been searching through all my history and there I can see all the websites I have visted for months on end, but I am not able to locate any thing that says "Recently Closed Windows" So that's why I also asked is there a certain time frame that "Recently Closed Windows" are accessible or should when looking through the history page of all the sites I've vised should I see Recently closed windows/tabs as an option or do I have to just open individual pages.

By simply saying "Press 2 keys Ctrl + H" either means you didn't actually read what I wrote or you missunderstood what I am trying to accomplish.

To all of you I really appreciate the feedback and let me see if I can answer everyone at the same time

I do not have any cleaning programs such as CCleaner or anything, so all my history is still there from I don't know how far back.

Also yes you are correct in the fact that if I click on the "3 Dots" and go to history or even "Ctrl + H" and then on the window click on the "3 Dots" again and then click on "Open History Page" I will see a list of "Individual" websites/tabs that were open. I do know that I can click on each one individually and see if it's the page that I wanted. But i'm specifically trying to find out or locate that normally if a browser crashes which im case it did and you go to history and you do see "Recently Closed Windows/Tabs" it will open that window of lets say 40 tabs you had opened.

So thats what i'm really looking for is instead of clicking on each link individually in the history page i'm trying to find that one thing that says "Recently Closed Windows/Tabs" so that I can restore the 4 individual windows with X+ tabs that were open on each window

I don't know if "Recently" means only that day or as long as you don't clear your history will that restore ability always be there or is it after "X" amount of days you loose the ability to "Restore Recently Closed Windows" and only can go through one by one with the individual links/tabs that may have been open?
