[QUOTE="SearchgooseNukedSession, post: 1023362, member: 98951"] Yesterday I lost 6 of my 32 (multi-tab) windows - a malware called "Searchgoose" closed the app and hijacked the "restore session" option, making it re-open with just 30 windows left. (Made another thread about that Malware infection here - [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/searchgoose-closed-my-edge-brave-sessions-could-only-restore-parts-please-help.120628/']"Searchgoose" closed my Edge/Brave sessions, could only restore parts - please help!![/URL]) Then I foolishly restarted the PC (without saving the 'Sessions" and "Session Storage" folders) in hopes of getting back to normal, and, well - upon re-opening Brave, there was only 1 1-tab window, on the Malware's own "searchgoose" page. The closed windows showed up in the "recently closed" list, but as I went through them restoring them 1 by 1, it turned out that only 26 of them were on the list - the rest of the 30 (let alone 32) were seemingly lost. So now the original undamaged session with the 32 windows went from being the previous, to being the pre-previous - apparently no longer present in the "Sessions" folder. The "previous" session that's still in the folder, is presumably the one with the 30 windows. Is there any way to get that pre-previous session back somehow? Or any way to just fish out those 6 remaining windows from some (maybe not-yet-irreversibly-deleted) file? Some extended version of the "Recently Closed" list? Or achieve any of this by rolling back the whole System in some way? It was all just 1 mere day ago - and I do seem to have 2 restore points, one at 02/02 and another a few days before that. Probably questions of interest to many more users, in various situations. [/QUOTE]
