While using Windows 10, especially from the Fall Creator Update, you may have faced the scenario where, upon starting your computer, some apps you used before automatically open. This can be annoying as you need to manually close them, causing a slowdown. The root cause is that in your previous session, you didn't close all the apps before shutting down the computer. This is essentially a feature Microsoft added to Windows 10 to help users continue their unfinished tasks. However, it seems users aren't very fond of this feature. In this article from Mytour, we'll guide you on how to turn off the automatic reopening of apps on Windows 10. Feel free to check it out.
The simplest way to prevent apps from automatically launching when you start your computer is to develop the habit of closing all applications before shutting down. This way, you won't encounter this issue.
However, if the nature of your work doesn't allow you time to manually close all applications, we can try one of the following methods.
Method 1: Quickly close apps and shut down.
Step 1: Press the Windows + D key combination to minimize all running apps and display the Desktop.
Step 2: Press the Alt + F4 key combination to open the Shut down dialog.
When the dialog appears, press Enter or Ok to turn off the computer. The next time you start your computer, the apps won't automatically reopen.
Method 2: Disable the app restart feature entirely.
Step 1: Open Settings in Windows 10 and select the Accounts category.
Step 2: In the new window, choose Sign-in options, then on the right side, turn off the Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update or restart option (switch from On to Off).
From now on, you won't encounter the issue of apps reopening automatically when you start Windows.
