Edge: tabs hidden unable to move them, can't block out annoying/dead websites!

Hi there,

I'm Cherrelyn, and I’m here to help.

If hidden tabs in Microsoft Edge aren't visible or movable, try right-clicking the Edge icon in your taskbar, then selecting the tab from the list to bring it forward. If that fails, restarting Edge or your PC may force the tab layout to reset. For blocking specific websites, Edge doesn’t offer a built-in allow/block list for users, but you can manage content using parental controls in your Microsoft account or use an extension like "Block Site" to manually define which sites to block.

I hope this will help and if you have any question please don't hesitate to reply to this thread.

Warm regards,

Cherrelyn

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the update.

If resetting Edge and updating didn’t resolve the issue.

Please try these suggestion Instead:

1. Restore window layout: Press Ctrl + Shift + T several times this reopens recently closed tabs and windows, which might bring hidden ones into view.
2. Check for multiple desktops: Use Windows + Tab to see if Edge is open on a different virtual desktop and drag it back if needed.
3. Try full screen toggle: Press F11 to switch in and out of full screen sometimes this helps reset the view.

For the blocked/dead tabs or websites issue: Consider using a clean user profile in Edge (go to Profile icon > Add profile) to see if the issue is tied to your current one. If it works there, the profile may be corrupted.

Warm regards,
