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

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

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!!!

use alt+f4 to shutdown and put a txt doc next to the shutdown button desktop/ left hand bottom corner  named (SHUTDOWN USE ALT +F4 ) to remind you every time. cheers

This "feature" is so stupid.  I had Chrome open because I just finished watching an episode from my streaming site.  I decided to do a restart and walked out of the room.  I come back after cooking dinner for my family and I find that Windows 10 had re-opened chrome, had "watched" 1 and a half episodes of the series I was watching, and had caused me to watch the wrong episode the next time because of the watch history function.

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.
