Folders do not restore when restarting Windows 11

Hello,

I have been looking for an answer to this issue since I received my new Dell with Windows 11 Pro. I am running version 23H2.

There are several folders opened on my desktop, and when I reset my system, or it is done automatically with an update, the folders that were opened and strategically placed on the desktop, will not reopen unless done so manually.

I have made sure that the option in the folder view indicates "Restore previous folder windows at logon" is checked.

This was working perfectly in Windows 10. There was never an upgrade to Windows 11 on this machine, as it was purchased with Windows 11 Pro on it.

Does anyone have any information on this issue that can help? I usually keep anywhere from 5 - 10 windows open that I would like to have automatically open when restarting.

Please advise.

Regards
Jeff

Folders do not restore when restarting Windows 11

Hello Jeff Padovano，



Welcome to the Microsoft Community！

I understand your confusion about folders not being recovered on a reboot, and understand how you feel,

The problem may be related to Windows 11's quick launch feature. Quick boot is a technique for saving the kernel state to the hard disk when the system is shut down and restoring the state when the system is booted. This can significantly reduce system startup time, but it can also cause some applications or Windows to fail to recover.

To solve this problem, you can try disabling quick launch and restarting the system, then see if you can automatically open the folder window. To disable quick boot, follow these steps:

• Windows Search box enter Control Panel -- Open -- Power Options -- "Select Power button function" -- Change the operation of the computer's sleep and power buttons
  
• In the shutdown Settings section, make sure that "Enable Quick Boot" is unchecked -- save the changes and restart
  

Once you've done this, you can try reopening the folder window and restarting the system to see if they automatically recover.

If the problem still exists, then your computer has some problems, please share with me the progress of the problem, I will provide you with further assistance, looking forward to your reply. Thank you for your cooperation and patience, I wish you all the best Merry Christmas!
