    Reopening apps and folders on startup


    I’ve always wanted Windows to do is to bring up the desktop I had—all the programs and the folders I had running—when I last shut down.

    Wouldn’t you know, that’s exactly what Windows10 is supposed to do! So much so that if I try and Google “Windows 10 reopening programs on startup” (one of the default Google suggestions that comes up while typing “Windows 10 openin…”) I’m met with a slew of links to pages describing how to DISABLE programs from opening at startup, and hardly any that discuss the opposite!

    So going to one of those pages, I thought I could find the answer to my question. It directed me—if I wanted to DISENGAGE apps and folders from automatically coming up—to go to my Settings/Accounts/Sign-in options and disengage the Sign-in Options button labeled: ‘Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update or restart.’

    I figured if the button was engaged that I would have what I wanted. Well, it’s engaged and Windows Start up or Restart doesn’t bring up the program/folder configuration it had when I Shut down.

    How do I get Windows to bring up the apps and folders I had when I last shut down?

    Oh by the way, are there any good technical reasons (not just being anally clean) why anyone would NOT want this to happen?

    Reopening apps and folders on startup

    Split Steam app folder between 2 HDD?

    As the title suggests I want to find out if there's a way I can split my steam app folder on to 2 drives, specifically an SSD that I will be putting my OS and most used games and apps and a regular HDD for everything else?
