Anyway, if you have updated your Windows 10 to Windows 10 Creative 1709, you may have notice that if you Shutdown or Restart your PC that whatever Window(s) you had open will re-open. Microsoft claims this is innovative in helping people get back to work where they left off. There is even a feature with Cortana where this works across devices, but something like this should be a choice and Microsoft did not give it with this latest update.
The whole purpose of shutting down and restarting is to get a fresh start. How can I tell a use have you tried rebooting or turn it off and on again if it will just come back to the same? Well, many have complained in the Microsoft Community Page and where you can vote up to voice your concern, but Microsoft has yet to address the problem.
If you want to do a full normal shut down you open up your command prompt and use good ol shutdown /r command.
- Just type cmd into your Cortana search bar and hit enter to open the command prompt
- Then type shutdown /r and hit enter
