How do you close all tabs in Microsoft Edge?

Published in Microsoft Edge 1 min read

You can close all tabs in Microsoft Edge using a keyboard shortcut or by adjusting a setting.

Methods for Closing All Tabs

Here are the ways to close all tabs in Microsoft Edge:

  • Keyboard Shortcut: Press Ctrl + Shift + W. This will close the entire Edge window, including all open tabs.

  • Disable Confirmation Prompt: By default, Edge may prompt you for confirmation when closing a window with multiple tabs. You can disable this confirmation in settings.

    1. Open Microsoft Edge.
    2. Click on the three dots (...) in the upper-right corner to open the menu.
    3. Select Settings.
    4. Search for "close all tabs".
    5. Toggle the setting that prompts you before closing multiple tabs to the off position. This may be worded as something like "Ask before closing multiple tabs" or "Confirm before closing multiple tabs."

Once this setting is disabled, closing the Edge window (e.g., by clicking the "X" in the upper-right corner or using Alt + F4) will automatically close all tabs without a confirmation prompt.
