    Anyway to stop programs opening on Windows 10 restart?


    hi folks,

    Sometimes I probably reatart windows 10 without shutting down some programs like outlook, or my browser, only to find that when I restart these programs also autmatically run again.

    Is there a way to stop this?

    Many thanks,
    joe

    Yes.

    Starting with Windows 10 build 17040: Based on your feedback, the feature to restore applications that have registered for application restart after you reboot or shutdown (through power options available on the Start Menu and various other locations) has been set to only occur for users that have enabled “Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting my device after an update or restart” in the Privacy section under Sign-in Options Settings.

    Check the program settings. Some programs such as "File Explorer" and most browsers have a setting to "restore previous windows", or similar.
