Using Windows 10 LTSB (Build 17763.1098).

Say I have Google Chrome running and click Start → Power → Restart. The PC shuts down and restarts as expected. After log in, the deskop is displayed... and then after ~5 seconds Chrome automatically restarts! Why? Same thing if Task Manager was running when I restart. After reboot, Task Manager is automatically restarted.

What controls this and how can I ask Windows to show the desktop only after a reboot?

  • Hello, I've tried to clarify the title a bit and clean up the formatting. If you don't like the changes, feel free to revert them. – gronostaj Apr 27 '20 at 09:40
  • Err, I'm not sure those edits are improvements! As a first language English-speaker, "restore" means something different from "restart". Not sure why you prefer Task Manager to Task Manager...making it stand out a little helps to focus on the important point that application XYZ restarts when I didn't want it too. Will think about and come back later, but thanks for the input. – AlainD Apr 27 '20 at 10:33
  • @AlainD - Your question should have never been edited. The edits add absolutely nothing, however, your question is indeed a duplicate of an existing question – Ramhound Apr 27 '20 at 11:14
  • @Ramhound: Yes, the edits aren't really that helpful. The linked question is indeed a duplicate and has resolved my issue. Thanks. – AlainD Apr 27 '20 at 12:26
  • @AlainD - As the author of the question you can reject any edit to your question. If a community user continues to suggest an edit, you would want to raise a moderator flag, instead of rolling back their edits. In this case I suggest just allowing the edit stand, since your question is a duplicate, and the edit didn't change all that much. UWP applications are indeed restored not restarted to the same state after a reboot. – Ramhound Apr 27 '20 at 15:47
  • @Ramhound: Yes, no need to revert the changes now. Curious use of restore. To me this would imply the program is returned to the exact same state as before which is not quite what happens. For example, if you were editing a Word document on page 15, the application would be restarted on page 1...but not restored to page 15. Thanks again... – AlainD Apr 27 '20 at 19:39
  • @AlainD - Word returning to the same page is a feature of Word. Windows opening or restoring your user instance, applications must also support it, is a feature of Windows 10 (specific versions) – Ramhound Apr 27 '20 at 20:51
