Continue where you left off not working on Chrome or Edge
Sometimes the Continue where you left off option does not work as desired. If you face this issue, on your Windows 11/10 PC, try these suggestions: While we have talked about Chrome here, you have to carry out a similar process for Edge.
1] Disable and re-enable the feature
Open the Settings page of your web browser. For the menu of Startup, select either Open the New Tab page or Open a specific page or pages. Close your web browser. Reopen the browser and from the same page, select Continue where you left off. It should fix the issue.
2] Allow the web browser to run in the background
Due to restrictions posed on the web browser, it might not be able to save the browser state when closed by the user, You can enable the web browser to be able to run in the background. This will authorize it to save that state even after it is closed and might get that feature working.
3] Reinstall the web browser without losing any user profile data
There might be some issues with the installation of the web browser. So, you might have to uninstall and then reinstall it. But that would delete all your browser data. To prevent this, we will have to first backup all the user profile data. To do that, open the following location in File Explorer: Look for the directory named after your Chrome or Edge browser and open it. Inside the User data folder, copy all the directories you find and keep them safe in a separate location. Now you may uninstall the Chrome web browser, get the latest version from their official website, and install it like any other software. Edge users can opt to Reset or Repair the Edge browser. Move back all the files to the same location we backed up from the Local folder. This should fix your issue and your data would be fine as it was. I hope this helps you in fixing the error.
