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

Why is this a thing? Who in gods name thought, yup we need to restart every program on a restart?

You know perhaps a restart is to clean everything down, as you know, your product is pretty rubbish at times, and not to have everything come back.

Or even if you think this is an amazingly good idea have a way to stop that stupid behaviour? Aka stop being a nanny to people who don't need it. I still think there should be a button that says let me be a grown up and i'll take the consequences...as perhaps after 20+ years in IT i should know what I'm doing and if I don't then more fool me.

God you irritate me at times.

Why you guys at Microsucks always come with the "third-party" excuse?

When the company that develops the most widely used OS around doesn't know how to disable their new "exciting" features, seems to me that you have not understood that common-sense and keep-it-simple is the way to do the things. Apes with developer skills.

Fix it!!!

I have to agree with firkinellareyadafton this one. I mean, how many non-Apple users requested this "feature?" In the end, who cares?

The real problem is the unilateral implementation of a "feature" with no way for the user to control it (I could add the unilateral implementation of Cortana and OneDrive to that list, and I'm sure there are others.)

Please implement an off switch for the "Pick Up Where I Left Off" feature.

Yes, I have added similar comments to Feedback Hub.

How about Microsh*t quit FORCING THESE GD UPDATES on everybody? How dare you mess with something people have paid high dollar for. IF I WANT SOME COMPANY'S USELESS UPDATES, I WILL ASK FOR THEM!!!!

I am really starting to hate Microsoft. Actually you guys have sucked ever since you closed down your flight simulator department after sucking everyone into the hobby for 20 years and then just abandoning them.

Very lucky for you guys you have the hegemony on PC computers and that other systems are a total pain to operate and have very few compatible things people need.

You guys are just like Greyhound Bus. You're basically the only game in town so you feel you can do whatever you want to customers and they gotta keep eating the crap you feed them year after year.

You guys need to look long and hard at your company because some day another company is gonna come down the pike that leaves you all SOL. But you'll have made your billions by then, so what do you care, huh?

I completely agree with Nik_871. If you are going to put in a feature like this. Give us a way of turning it off. The work around that its easy just close everything and you will be fine is dumb. What if i restarted because something went corrupt. This is just going to get me stuck in a loop. Also if i'm shut down my computer i am done with it. When i start up i want to start fresh. Not where i was before. 

The fix is simple. Give us an off switch for this stupid feature. Please.
