Windows 10: How to restart Windows like Windows Update does keeping all my browswer Tabs

Whenever Windows updates and offers me to restart my system, after restarting all my browser Windows that were open when the system restarted reopen automatically. This is really GREAT for me as I am usually working continuously on a large number of browser windows/tabs and I can just continue where I left off after restarting.



My PC usually stays on continuously with these browser windows open. I almost never turn it off or restart. the most I do is let it sleep when I'm away, and then wake it up when I'm back to continue my work.

Sometimes tho when the system is on for a long time and something is not working very well, a restart is required, but if I tell the PC to restart normally, I loose all my browser Windows/tabs and have to remember/reopen everything I had open.



My question is. Is there a way to make Windows restart the same way it does when the restart is initiated by Windows Update so I can get my browser windows back after restart? Is there a command for that?

Windows Update keeps failing!

Hi,

I had once a similar issue like yours, i.e. not able to update Windows 7. What I did to solve the problems is:

- go to control panel, then to "Troubleshouting" > "System and Security" > "Fix problems with Windows update" > click "Advanced" > choose "Apply repairs automatically".

And Windows will start detecting the issues and will repair "Windows update components". The problems should be fixed now, close the program, restart the PC, and see if the mentioned steps have fixed the problems you mentioned.

Hope it works for you.

Good luck!

 

Windows Update suddenly hangs?

Windows Update is suddenly hanging for some reason... I went and downloaded and installed the first bunch of updates, restarted when asked, and now when I go back to windows update I just get the window with a white box forever. Reboot and it still does it. This happens to be on my main machine, running windows 7.

I've also noticed when I reboot it says configuring windows update, step 3 of 3, 47%. Maybe it somehow skipped something and is screwed forever?

 

Curious small window bug - Win7 - UPDATE: Command line -tab parameter issue?

Any steps to reproduce? GPU-Z dynamically changes the window border/size to enable resize only when sensor tab is active
