Windows 10 re-opens all programs after shutdown / restart?

I can't wait for the lawsuit:

Guy watching porn on family PC, is interrupted and shuts down PC.  Forgets (or perhaps DOESN'T KNOW!) that Win10 OS will reopen his previous session on next boot.

7am next morning he's asleep in bed, his 7 year old kid fires up the PC; kid is shown a re-run of his fathers porn fetish from the night before.

Father sues Microshaft!

Microtwats release update to OS...

MS settle lawsuit out of court, undisclosed yet perceived massive settlement payment.

MS have a staff shakeup.

This apparently has been a problem for users for MONTHS... and To be honest WE ALL have the right to be ROYALLY TICKED OFF. IF I have to reboot my computer it's because there's a program running that's bogging it down... I have 2 very beefy systems one laptop one Desktop. Now, why on Gods green earth would I want to reopen all my previous programs that you know... maybe I COULDN'T Close down due to a system lock-up? What about when it's just simply EASIER to reboot without closing 10+ Smaller programs? Now when you load up I have Chrome (MASSIVE MEMORY HOG By the way) Load up when I reboot or shut down...

"Oh well just close it al----" AHH AHH AHHHHH Did I ask for a smack to the face? DID I ask you to grind my fingers in cheese graters? NO, I shouldn't HAVE to ' close all programs before I reboot'. I want to reboot my computer to reset memory so that I can come back to a fast running computer. My laptop struggles as it is to boot for WHATEVER Reason. Now with this 'Handy Feature' my laptop went from 5 minute boot time to dang near 15. 5 is bad enough, with the specs I'm running I shouldn't have a 2 minute load time. But no Microsoft wants to push out something that's going to make boot times longer... (It's not efficient by the way.)

Taking my Software Engineering classes in school I think Microsoft forgot ONE NIFTY little thing... USER FRIENDLINESS. This is NOT user-friendly.  Maybe if all you have on it is Word and Edge like say at a old company you can get away with it. but the vast majority of people have personal computers on which they play games, do research, school projects, etc. I always thought that you know.... if you're going to add a feature, especially one that people may have PROBLEMS with you'd have a 'Turn this off' ability. But I guess that escaped your Software Engineers Massive brain. Don't get me wrong I understand how infuriating that job can be. That's why we have QUALITY CONTROL Personel. THIS PROBLEM Made it through ALL rings of your software engineering team. THATS Inexcusable. FEATURES are that FEATURES They need a 'I don't want this' option. Stop making excuses and fix the crap. I don't care if MacOS People have been asking for it for years or not. 

Sincerely, 

One Ticked off customer

"Its similar to a functionality on macOS users have been asking for years on Windows. "

So, mac users are now dictating to Microsoft?  Wow!

I use windows because I never want to own an Apple product, yet the all-pervasive tablet/cellphone/app culture has now been adopted by MS, whose attitude seems to be 'thanks for your decades of support and money, but damn you all'

Maybe I can apply to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a grant to start a software company that will actually respect it's customers.

Besides the shortcut key, none of the other suggestions work.

This is a really piss poor implementation as I can be working off a thumbdrive and I don't want Windows to go on a wild hunt for the file when I restart.

The response from Sher Amo though... wow. If there's any example of a level one tech walking cluelessly into a discussion and offering the most basic troubleshooting suggestions when the discussion has progressed beyond...

Hello tom.wildes, I’ll be answering your question.

This is a new feature which arrived with the fall update/upgrade, there is no way currently to turn it off but if you close all open programs they shouldn’t then reopen upon restarting.

I have every program closed, but, unbeknownst to me, Microsoft keeps its own Microsoft Word running somewhere in deep background. So, when I turn on the computer, I get 4 or 5 editions of MS Word trying to open some damn dumb template. It is a pain to close them every time I start the computer. (It reminds of that scene in the Harry Potter movie when all of the pots start replicating themselves in the vault in Gringots.) 

My only solution is to open task manager just before I shut down my computer. I then look the "Details" tab and delete all entries for MS Word. What a stupid pain, but that is the only way I get the fresh start that I should get when I start my computer, without having to spend the first 5 minutes shutting down these crazy re-starts of MS. Word.

I am sure someone loves this feature, but it is a total pain to me. Please hurry up with an option to turn this feature off.
