Apparently it does.
I did the same thing on my Surface Pro1.
On my reply to Jeepers (post #36), I included a link to another thread of mine describing what I did.

Ok thanks, that is good to know as I will have always been pensive to try and do anything else whilst I thought there was an active background download/update activity

Since this update, IE11 auto-launches on startup. It's not listed in my Startup, and no Scheduled Task to run it. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a fix?

Have you done a Restart since that happened ?
If not, do a restart and see if issue persists.

It will - take it from me! This appears to be by design. Since Insider build 16251 all apps registered as capable of being restarted will do so on Restart or Shut down. There's already a long thread on this....

on a restart Fall Creators Update reopens apps from before

IE is one such app, Task Manager and the Snipping Tool are two other examples (there are more - read the above thread, particularly post #53 on, where what's happening starts to become clearer and post #77 for what I think is the explanation of how this restart works. There are also workarounds in that thread, using shortcuts to call shutdown.exe.

Yeah

Simply create two desktop icons for 1) shutdown, and 2) restart

1) shutdown.exe /s /hybrid /t 0

/hybrid is optional but allows faststart if you use it.

2) shutdown.exe /r /t 0

These stop the annoying behaviour.

Guys, thanks for the info!

And the link, so it looks like a designed in "Feature", with no way to toggle it on or off........MS twists the knife a little more!

For a shut down I use shutdown /p which (as I understand it) uses whatever your current fast startup setting is. It's also instant. My restart is the same as yours.

Rather than occupying space on the desktop, my shortcuts are in a folder called Power so I could add it as a toolbar on the taskbar.

All seems well will need more time. Hope the stupid "airplane mode" issue is 100% resolved. Win10 does seems to be a little smoother in running. Anybody else notice this? Or is it my imagination?

I sign out first, then restart or shutdown.
also turn fast startup off and hibernate off.
