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

Anonymous

Running Windows 10 Pro, v1790, build 16299.19

After a recent Windows update my computer now re-opens all programs I had open prior to restarting.

I've seen some registry hacks and workarounds on the internet but I just want the option to turn this off natively within Windows without workarounds.

How do I do this?

Agreed and seconded....

Why in earth does MS feel the need to change stuff that does not need changing? That's the problem with WIN 10: It ties us more into MS than the older versions. E.g.: WIN Mail...

I'm using macos at work and, I assure you, you can turn it off because I did.

If you want to copy, copy it right, please.

Your stupidity truly bewilders me and makes me question your company. Why make a feature that can not be turned off.

Yeah, still sitting here sick of my laptop taking 10 minutes to load because it's trying to load all my previously open programs... IT'S A GOD DAMN 5400RPM DRIVE!

Not to mention windows 10 being very slow at loading windows 10 on laptops without ssd's now anyway because some genius thought it was a good idea for windows 10 to use 100% of the drive all the time.

A misfeature, or a bug by design, intentional but unwanted and negatively impacting users.
