Windows 10: Microsoft 10 is reopening all my windows closed prior to a shutdown. Once I restart closed...

Here is another complaint found in August 2011.


Hello everyone, hope you're doing okay!
A couple months ago I started noticing a problem with my PC. I noticed that most of the times, when I shut it down (I always close all the programs running) and then turn it on again (instantly or hours after), all of my programs were open again.
It was as if it had saved my previous session, even tho I manually closed everything.
But what I think is the worst, is that if for some reason i was using Youtube, every time I started my PC again it would start playing the video EVEN ON THE LOG IN SCREEN.
This is major problem , I haven't even introduced my key and all of my thing are already working. Can you imagine something like this happening to your home?
I think this is a big security and mostly privacy problem, and i'd like to get some sort of official feedback.

:)

 

How to force close all apps on restart or shutdown ?

Create a shortcut on the desktop that has this in it:

shutdown /f /r /t 0

/f = Force running applications to close without forewarning users.
/r = Full shutdown and restart the computer.
/t 0 = Set the time-out period before shutdown to 0 seconds (immediate restart).

Enter shutdown /? from a Command Prompt for the full list of options.

I think you're better off to wait a bit and let the programs and services close on their own, If they don't after 30 seconds or so then force them closed.

 

Windows closes and reopens

Ιf I right click on my computer and select properties, the window appears for a few millisecs then closes and reopens.

I have similar problem when selecting "Open file location" from start menu, the window appears normally, but when I close it, it reopens by itself.

I tried sfc /scannow (no problems found) and clean boot but the problem remains.

 

Windows Live Mail restarts after closing


My wife and I have accounts on our desktop computer running Windows 10 Home. When my wife closes her Windows Live Mail client it reopens again within seconds. If she then closes it again it stays closed. When I close Windows Live Mail I do not have this problem.

I have tried repairing all Windows Essentials programs but this hasn't helped. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how to put this right.
