How can I get IE 11 to stop reverting to Start with tabs from last session?

I'm using Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) with Internet Explorer 11. My preference is to have IE start with my home page.

A few times a week, it changes itself to Start with tabs from last session.

After I reset it to Start with home page and save the settings, it will change it back sometime later. This does not appear to be event or time specific.

There are no error messages or prompts. The computer is clean of viruses and malware. There are no redirects or hijack issues with IE or other browsers.

My profile is administrator and there are no group policies involved. I have searched here and various other technical sites with little results.

How can I stop Internet Explorer from changing this setting?

Solution 1:

This is the most direct way using GPEDIT.MSC

Run gpedit.msc Navigate to : User Configuration=>Administrative Templates=>Windows Components=>Internet Explorer =>Internet Control Panel =>General Page In right window you have "Start Internet Explorer with tabs from last browsing session" Double click it and Disable the setting.

Just as a precaution, always better to have IE closed when making GP changes, not all the time but it seems to apply better for me. I would post a screenshot but I'm a noob apparently
