Safari won't REOPEN LAST CLOSED WINDOW nor ALL WINDOWS FROM LAST SESSION

I recently installed macOS Monterey (Version 12.4) on my iMac 21.5", and "Reopen Last Closed window" or "All windows from last session", after I quit the App and/or Shut Down the computer, and restart it, all pages show only the Home Page. Any help please, maybe from Apple directly? Thanks

iMac 21.5″, macOS 12.4

Hi joemalta,

have you selected "All windows from last session" from Safari Setting?

***

If this is already checked, could be because if you quit Safari with "X" in red circle in upper left corner, windows from last session will not be saved regardless of settings.

If you close out by Safari > Quit Safari, they will if windows from last session is set in safari preferences.

***

Also be sure windows are not closed before quitting Safari.

Go to System Preferences > General

Make sure "Close windows when quitting an app" is not enabled.

Hi joemalta,

I've update my previous answer.

This could be the reason:

If this is already checked, could be because if you quit Safari with "X" in red circle in upper left corner, windows from last session will not be saved regardless of settings.

If you close out by Safari > Quit Safari, they will if windows from last session is set in safari preferences.

Let me know if this solves the problem!

Thanks.

But I could not understand what you meant abut the "Red X (could be because if you quit Safari with "X" in red circle in upper left corner, windows from last session will not be saved regardless of settings) Where exactly should be the Red X?. Never saw it...
