Imagine that you are working on an important task and have a lot of Chrome tabs open. Out of the corner of your eye, you spot another prompt asking you to install the latest Windows 10 update. “Not now Microsoft!” — You think and move your mouse to click Remind me later again. But hurry, you click Restart now instead.
Pandemonium breaks when you try to save your progress, but the damage is already done. And while Google Docs will keep all your progress, I’m not sure if Chrome will give you the option to restore a previous session. As you wait patiently, Windows will take the time to finish updating and booting up your system. You open Chrome and to your horror, the Restore option doesn’t pop up.
Now, there are several ways by which you can get all your lost cards back. You can jump into your browsing history and open each recently visited web page OR you can read on to find two easier solutions.
How to restore Chrome tabs after reboot
Now, even if the Restore option doesn’t pop up, Chrome still provides a nifty little way to reopen closed tabs after a reboot. Just follow these steps to reopen closed tabs:
Step 1: Open Chrome and click on the three-dot menu button in the top right corner.
Step 2: Hover your cursor over the History option and a drop-down menu will appear next to it. This menu will include all the websites you have opened recently, along with another cool feature.
Step 3: In the Recently Closed option in the drop-down menu, you will notice an option that lists the number of tabs that were opened in the previous session. Just click on it to open all the tabs you lost due to reboot.
How to restore Chrome tabs after reboot using Session Buddy
That’s not the only way you can restore Chrome tabs after a reboot, and it’s likely that this won’t work if you open and close more tabs after restarting. So, if you want to make sure that you don’t lose any progress due to crashes or sudden reboots, you should install the Session Buddy Chrome extension.
The Chrome extension aims to provide you with a unified session and bookmarks manager, allowing you to save your open tabs and restore them later with ease. Along with that, it also allows you to manage all open windows and tabs in one place, organize your saved tabs by theme, search through all open tabs to find the tab you are looking for, and even export tabs in various formats.
Here is a brief guide on how you can restore Chrome tabs after restart using Session Buddy:
Step 1: Follow this link to the Chrome Web Store and install Session Buddy by clicking the Add to Chrome button.
Step 2: Click Add extension in the following prompt to proceed with the installation.
Step 3: Click the Session Buddy icon to the right of the Omni bar to open the extension.
Step 4: Click the Save button in the top right corner to save your current browsing session, along with all open windows and tabs.
Step 5: Name the current session in the following prompt and then click OK. In case you don’t want to give your session a name, you can also check the box next to the Never ask for name option.
Session Buddy now saves all your tabs, and you can easily access them by selecting a session from the Saved Sessions list on the left. Now if you don’t want to bother saving sessions manually, you will be happy to know that the extension also saves sessions automatically.
By default, the extension automatically saves up to three sessions and displays them in the Saved Sessions list on the left. Just follow these steps in case you want to configure automatically saved sessions:
Step 1: Click the settings gear in the top right corner to open the settings menu.
Step 2: Select the Settings option from the drop-down menu to open the extension settings.
Step 3: At the General tab, turn on the first option and then click on the number of previous sessions. You should choose a higher number if you want to store more sessions.
Step 4: Click the Save button in the settings popup to save the changes.
Sessions Buddy will now automatically record sessions and show up to 10 previous sessions in the Saved Sessions list. With the extension installed, you’ll never have to worry about losing your Chrome tabs after random reboots.
