What happens if you have several tabs open and execute the menu "File" > "Exit - ALT+F4" and then restart 'Everything'?
(In 'Everything' 1.5.0.1380a (x64) on my pc the view remains the same as before).

It opened only the default tab, at launch.

In Chrome Windows, Ctrl+Shift+T right after relaunch Chrome brings tabs of the last window, which is somewhat make sense for me. I think if I keep press C+S+T, it will keep restore tabs and windows.

In the 'Everything' Options - 1.5.0.1380a (x64) > Keyboard:
CTRL+SHIFT+T (Global) is used for "History | Restore Recently Closed Tab".
I think this function is intended for running operation and not to restore tabs after an 'Everything' restart.

You are probably missing settings so that the automatic restoration of tab(s) [and search queries in tab(s)]
takes place after an 'Everything' restart.

Here are my settings - without any claim to completeness/accuracy:
Menu "Tools" > "Options..." >
  1. ... UI > ☑️ Open searches in tabs
  2. ... Advanced
    • allow_tabs                               true
    • open_new_windows_in_tabs     true
    • tabs_always_show                    true
    • tabs_show                                true
Maybe that will help.
If not, I could give you an excerpt regarding tabs from the Everything.ini.

Restore your previous window from History -> Recently closed windows if Everything is running in the background (Tools -> Options -> UI -> Run in background)



Restore your previous session from History -> Restore previous session if you disable Tools -> Options -> UI -> "Run in background".



To automatically restore the previous session:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Advanced tab on the left.
  • To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
    restore
  • Select: session_store_restore_on_first_shown_window
  • Set the value to: true
  • Click OK.


Ctrl + Shift + N to reopen closed windows.
Ctrl + Shift + T to restore closed tabs.

I wouldn't expect "everything" to stay the same after a restart, I expecting for reopen, or should say reshow from systray you know.
