this appears to work for now so

thanks!

Yeah sadly unchecking the "sleeping tabs" option doesn't work but checking it and adding to "never put to sleep" works

Hi nicholasb0,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today.

We understand that you want to control your tab. We would like to suggest these steps on the settings to modify.

With latest version of Edge, Microsoft added this feature to improve the memory usage of the browser.



Based on your posted query you haven’t activated or used sleeping tab on Edge however we still want to make sure that the setting of your Edge is on the right track.



I have provided a screenshot below where you can follow on how to control or even add a specific website to avoid the tab from fading or sleeping.

1. Go to settings
   
   
   
2. Click System
   
3. Under Optimize Performance you can enable/disable the “fading sleeping tabs” feature. If it’s enable, please disable it.
   
4. Under “Add” you can add the Xbox website to specifically stop the tab from sleeping.
   

I hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let me know.

I will be glad to follow up and help you.

Have a great day ahead.

Sincerely,

Thanks, here are the questions:

Can I disable the on-screen keyboard when typing in Microsoft Edge or on Xbox in general? I use a keyboard and don't need the pop-up one for the controller.

Is there a way to stop other tabs from being discarded in Microsoft Edge on Xbox? It says when I hover over the tab: "this tab was discarded to save resources". Is there an option to cost resources in order to keep multiple tabs open?

Would I be able to navigate the Xbox home screen, Microsoft store, or other apps with a mouse cursor, or is it only done with the keyboard arrows or controller?
