Whenever I create a new group or close it, it doesn't go into Tab Groups menu. And I can't remove it from the UI via favorites bar too: I tried to repair Edge via Installed Apps menu, but it didn't help.

Computer restarted unexpectedly with edge browser open. Had 1 window with over 200 tabs. I was not offered the "restore previous session" popup upon opening edge again. Recently closed shows only a handful of tabs.

I was using my laptop just fine. I needed to use the bathroom and it was starting to run low on battery, so I decided to take a break and close it while I let it charge up. About an hour later, I go to get back to what I was doing, and realize it had…
