Hello to everyone in this thread!
This is actually a change in the core functionality of Windows in this development cycle.
Old behavior:
- When you shut down your PC, all apps are closed
- After reboot/restart, you have to re-open any app you'd like to use
New behavior:
- When shutting down your PC, any open apps are "bookmarked" (for lack of a better word)
- After reboot/restart, these apps will re-open automatically
If you want to start with no apps open (other than those set to auto-start via Task Manager/Start), you'll need to ensure all apps are closed before shutting down or restarting the PC.
Why?
The desire is to create a seamless experience wherein, if you have to reboot a PC, you can pick back up quickly from where you left off and resume being productive. This has far-ranging impacts across the OS (in a good way).
We'll discuss this more in the next flight release blog post, so stay tuned!
Come on.....This is not a feature, it is not an improvement...it is a
BUG!!!
I have updated several PCs to v.1709 and this "feature" has an erratic behaviour in all the various PCs that have been updated.
On some it happens randomly, sometimes it does sometimes it doesn't, on others always even if I exit all the programs and active windows before shutdown and on the next boot some of the programs start automatically, but not necessarily the last ones that
were used..
It is UNMANAGEABLE and obviously a BUG!!!!
Instead of posting a load of waffle like "a change in the core functionality of Windows in this development cycle." or "The
desire is to create a seamless experience wherein........... This has far-ranging impacts across the OS (in a good way).", post something useful..like a workaround until it gets fixed in the next build, or a patch is released.
Also...stay tuned?? We have, but since your post in August we picked up just white noise...may be you should try broadcasting on the right channel.
