This does not appear to happen on Win10.

 

Using Win11 and Edge Browser (both up-to date).

 

I open Edge and I have 5 tabs which open automatically.

 

If I start randomly clicking tabs, eventually only 1 tab remains.

 

This is a relatively new issue, but the laptop is primarily used by my wife, and she started to mention it.

 

So far, I have cleared the Edge Cache and also done an Edge>Modifiy>Repair, but the issue still remains.

 

I tried Chrome which was installed and made sure it was up-to-date. Chrome did not seem to have the same issue.

Weird. Certainly doesn't happen here on two W11 Edge comps.

Wen you say 5 tabs -- are they configured by you? Or are these tabs that just happen to appear e.g. tabs from extensions etc.

 

And thinking of extenstions, are there any installed?

 

Silly quesiton, but you're not middle clicking are you? Or if using touchpad, check to make sure you're not doing some multiple finger gesture of some kind triggering that.

 

When testing on Chroms do you have the same 5 tabs open automatically?

Sounds like a dodgy mouse

MadEngineer: Sounds like a dodgy mouse

 

I think you may be right. I think it is doing a double-click when I click the left 'button'.

 

The Mouse is a Logitech M557. It had SetPoint installed, which I de-installed to see if that made a difference. It did not.

 

Am playing around with Mouse Settings. But no luck so far.

 

Looking at this (so far): When I Click My Mouse, It Sometimes Double-clicks (computerhope.com)

What happens if you switch between the tabs with Ctrl Tab, then try to close the tabs with Ctrl W?

The Logitech M557 is bluetooth only. The batteries are 2 x AA, dated 01/05/2022.

 

Swapped out that mouse for Logitech Pebble M350 using bluetooth (it can use the supplied dongle), plus a brand-new AA Battery.

 

So far, I can't get it to shut-down any tab on a left click.

 

Will try brand new batteries in the M557.

 

PS The wife didn't like the Logitech Pebble when I got it. It's OK for me.

Further convinced it is the mouse. Brand new batteries were unsuccessful.

Moved the Logitech M557 to my Win10 NUC computer. Same problem, so mouse is to blame.

 

I think this Topic is now closed.

My M310t starts to dbl click after longish use. I add some padding under the top moveable piece about half way back on the outer edge. This just gives it a little lift.

I did something similar… with Coffee.
