I've closed a Microsoft Edge (25.10586.0.0) window that had multiple old tabs on it restored over multiple starts, while unawares that I'd minimized a single window with nothing important on it. Now if I quit edge, when I next start it with "reopen last session" it will only open the unimportant window and not the important (recently closed one).
I can try control-shift-T but it reopens only tabs specific to the remaining window's history.
If I look in the history, which I cannot search, I am amazed to not see very many of the tabs I just closed. EG a Docker image for Apache Drill, some Github pages etc.
Is reopening the last closed window with all it's tabs a missing feature? This is infuriating. Is there a work around?

You can now do this using the new Microsoft Edge feature that ships with the Creators Update in Windows 10, it's called "Set these tabs aside".
While it's not as easy as simply clicking Exit on Chrome or Firefox you can indeed have many New Browser instances open, reboot and click Tabs You've Set Aside and successfully restore your previous browser state.
Edit:
Now with the Chromium version of Edge out, this issue is now fixed.
