Hello Anton,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

I apologize for the inconvenience you’re facing with sleeping tabs on Xbox Edge. I understand how frustrating it can be when you’re unable to find a direct setting to disable them. Sleeping tabs are a feature that helps save power and improve performance by pausing inactive tabs in the background. While the option to turn off sleeping tabs isn’t explicitly available, there are some workarounds you can try:

1. Adjust Power Settings:
   
   • Although the specific sleeping tabs setting is missing, you can modify your Xbox’s power settings to prevent tabs from going to sleep too quickly:
     
     • Go to Settings.
       
     • Navigate to Power & startup.
       
     • Adjust the Turn off after duration to a longer period.
       
     • This won’t directly affect Edge, but it will keep your console active for a more extended time, potentially preventing tab sleep.
       
2. Specific Sites Whitelist:
   
   • While not ideal, you mentioned that adding specific sites to the “never go to sleep” section worked for you.
     
   • Continue using this workaround by adding essential sites you want to keep active.
     
3. Restart Edge:
   
   • Sometimes, a simple restart can help:
     
     • Close Edge completely.
       
     • Reopen it and check if the tabs still reload after reopening.
       

If you have any feedback or suggestions about this feature, please let us know through the Xbox Insider Hub app or the Xbox UserVoice website.
I hope Microsoft considers adding this feature in a future update.
