Windows 10: Windows 10 remembering last session, or not fully shutting down.

Hello, community.

I would like to ask if there was a recently update that makes Windows 10 remembers your last session and open almost anything that you left opened after hitting the shutdown button. The issue, if it's one, is that a few days ago my computer started whenever i log-in, to open the windows and programs that i left open.

First, i thought it could be the fast startup, then i disabled. Next, i thought the computer was hibernating instead of shutting down, then i disabled as well. Next, browsing across the internet i came up with re-installing and updating the Intel Management Engine Device, didn't work.

My computer is running the High Performance energy mode, all hybernate/sleep settings are set to never or off. (My windows is in my native language Portuguese, Desligado means Off and Nunca means Never).





File explorer option to restore previous folder at logon is also disabled.





The computer turns off, i checked inside and everything stops working, yesterday i even took it out of the power plug to make sure it was really turned off, and when i turned on today, it was here, my last session, lol.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

:)

 

Windows 10 "INVALID IP CONFIGURATION"

I've seen heaps of this over the last few days.

The solution is to RESTART the computer, not shut down. A Windows 10 shutdown isn't a full shut down but more of a deep sleep/hibernation. Restarting will fully shut down the computer and restart and the problem should be fixed..

 

Windows 10 "INVALID IP CONFIGURATION"

worked like a champ

 

UPDATE: For the most elegant solution go to THIS TUTORIAL



This is a known issue/feature for latest Windows 10.

I think we have/had a tutorial for this but I can't find it now, so this is the solution for now:

Every time you shut down your computer do the following:

A. For full shutdown:

• Press: WIN + R
• Type: Code: shutdown /s /t 0[/quote]
• Press Enter

B. For a full reboot:

• Press: WIN + R
• Type: Code: shutdown /r /t 0[/quote]
• Press Enter

You can also put those commands in Command Line scripts:
First make sure you can see file extension (if you need help with that, feel free to ask)

Making script for Shutdown:

• On your desktop right click and select "New"-->"Text Document"
• Give it the name shutdown.cmd (make sure it is not named shutdown.cmd.txt)
• Right click on the file and select "Edit" (Notepad should open)
• Paste following command in to Notepad: Code: shutdown /s /t 0[/quote]
• Save the file by pressing CTRL + S and exit Notepad

Making script for reboot:

• On your desktop right click and select "New"-->"Text Document"
• Give it the name reboot.cmd (make sure it is not named reboot.cmd.txt)
• Right click on the file and select "Edit" (Notepad should open)
• Paste following command in to Notepad: Code: shutdown /r /t 0[/quote]
• Save the file by pressing CTRL + S and exit Notepad

Try out the scripts. In order for the scripts to execute, you must right click on them and select "Run As Administrator", or the scripts won't do anything. Press Yes on the UAC prompt.

Voila!! No open windows from previous session should reappear anymore.

Update: Those scripts could be coded better. They are currently in a very crude state, just to keep things simple.

 

Is that the 'Add Shutdown Context Menu' Tut.

 

Thanks!

But there seems to be a more simple solution now for the OPs broblem:
Enable/Disable Use sign-in info to auto finish after Update or Restart in Windows 10 (DISABLES APPS FROM PREVIOUS SESSION TO RELAUNCH)

 

This new feature is discussed in on a restart Fall Creators Update reopens apps from before - TenForums [I found page 9 to be the most useful page but there are interesting ditties throughout the discussion]

Yes. This is a new 'feature' that was quietly introduced in the Fall Creators Update (1709).

on a restart Fall Creators Update reopens apps from before

This was a widely unwelcome 'feature', and from Insider build 17040 Microsoft have added a way to turn it off. This will not make its way into the public version until the next Features Update (version 1803?) due out in April.

Thanks @Bree

I missed the point where it says Build 17040+ *Smile


Update: Disabling the autologin in setting on build 16299.172 does not automatically launch any apps after reboot. I was wrong, Wordpad did relaunch on reboot.

 

That's understandable, many Insiders miss that point too *Smile

Actually, now I fully understand how it works I've found this feature useful at times - particularly when investigating for that thread. I'd have IE open at a page in that thread, test something (like which apps can reopen on a restart) then post the results in the IE page that reopened.

Not all apps can be reopened. For example, Wordpad, IE, Chrome and Office will reopen, Notepad, Edge and Firefox won't. Only apps that are coded to register for a restart can be reopened.

 

Hehheh, usually my computer stays on 24/7 or I put it just to sleep...so I would not notice stuff like this...

 

You had my hopes up there for a while, but testing confirms nothing has changed in 16299.192. *Sad

 

Heheh, yep, I tested first with Edge, but as you stated, it does not register for auto re-launch. WordPad on the other hand did re-launch.

I also see that I misspelled the latest revision nr. ...oh well, does not matter since it's obsolete and irrelevant information now after testing.

 

Thanks Bree and slicendice.
