Is there a way to recover a recently closed Window a few sessions ago with Chrome and after reboot on Win 10?

I have been relying on the History -> Recently Closed menu to recover closed Windows. And that used to work for me. As a result, I left open a large amount of tabs that represented a good amount of work that I accumulated over the time.

For various reasons, I never used to turn my PC off but recently I rebooted it, now recently closed tabs are gone -- including those organized by windows. I neglected to click on Reopen Closed Window upon Chrome restart, not only because that is an easy mistake to make, but also I had thought of the Recently Closed menu as a reliable alternative. For the same reason, I had On Startup setting on Open the New Tab page.

Given where I am, summary below, is there any way to recover my closed tabs from a few sessions ago before my PC rebooted? I am willing to go any length and dig any file.

• Rebooted PC

• Did not use Reopen Closed Window

• The closed tabs/window is now from several sessions ago (as I search the Internet for options to recover)

• Did not recently reconnect on all the closed tabs; the last connections were completely scattered

• Lost work were the page links themselves; no forms

• Chrome version: 80.0.3987.163 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Thanks a lot for any pointer!

If you have any backup software which runs periodically or if you have Control Panel\System and Security\File History enabled and it's set to back up your Chrome profile directory, you could try that.

Unfortunately some backup software excludes the Chrome profile directory by default, but you could check. I've used this technique to recover Notepad++ open files when it's glitched out, and I'm pretty sure I've used it successfully for the same Chrome situation you're describing.
