How to Restore Recently Closed Window in Chrome
In the fast-paced digital world, it’s not uncommon to accidentally close a window or tab in Google Chrome while working on multiple tasks. Whether you were in the middle of a research project, browsing through your favorite websites, or simply multitasking, losing a window can be frustrating. However, Google Chrome provides a simple and efficient way to restore recently closed windows. In this article, we will guide you through the process of restoring a recently closed window in Chrome.
1. Use the Undo Close Tab Command
The quickest way to restore a recently closed window in Chrome is by using the Undo Close Tab command. Here’s how you can do it:
1. Open Google Chrome and navigate to the Chrome menu (three dots in the upper-right corner).
2. Click on “History” from the dropdown menu.
3. You will see a list of recently closed tabs and windows. Find the one you want to restore and click on it.
4. Alternatively, you can press “Ctrl + Shift + T” (Windows/Linux) or “Cmd + Shift + T” (Mac) to restore the most recently closed tab. Pressing this shortcut multiple times will cycle through the list of recently closed tabs.
2. Restore from the Recently Closed Tabs Page
If you can’t find the recently closed window in the History menu, you can try accessing the Recently Closed Tabs page:
1. Open the Chrome menu and click on “History” again.
2. Click on “Recently Closed Tabs” at the bottom of the list. This will open a new page showing all the recently closed windows and tabs.
3. Find the window you want to restore and click on it to open it again.
3. Use the Chrome Task Manager
If you have multiple Chrome windows open, and you’re not sure which one you closed, you can use the Chrome Task Manager to find and restore the closed window:
1. Press “Ctrl + Shift + Esc” (Windows/Linux) or “Cmd + Option + Esc” (Mac) to open the Task Manager.
2. Go to the “Processes” tab.
3. Look for the Chrome process and click on it.
4. In the bottom-left corner, click on “Show locked tabs.”
5. You will see a list of all the tabs currently open in Chrome, including the recently closed ones. Click on the tab you want to restore.
4. Set Chrome to Always Restore the Last Session
To avoid losing tabs and windows in the future, you can set Chrome to always restore the last session when you open it:
1. Open the Chrome menu and click on “Settings.”
2. Scroll down and click on “On startup.”
3. Select “Continue where I left off” from the dropdown menu.
4. Click “Relaunch” to save the changes and restart Chrome.
By following these simple steps, you can easily restore recently closed windows in Google Chrome and get back to your work without any hassle.
