Windows open after shutdown?

[jucabear]

When I shutdown my computer, and turn it on afterwards, the windows seem to open back up in the state that they were in? For example google chrome will open with all the tabs I left. Word will open the document that was open etc.
I don't want this to happen as it probably has a large effect on startup. Anyone know what causes this and/or how to stop it? Thanks!

That is working as designed. windows 10 doesn't turn off when you shut it down, instead it uses hybred hibernate. It makes a copy of certain files and all drivers being used and copies them to ram so when you start PC up again, it remembers what was open before. Its handy on hdd but not much faster on an ssd

the only effect on startup is everything loads faster.

If you don't want it, turn off Fast Startup: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/4189-turn-off-fast-startup-windows-10-a.html

That means that are running the Fall Creators Update, version 1709.

Is there anyway to make it not happen lol? It seems more inconvenient than anything else.

turning off fast startup will stop it.

My comment above is incorrect, turning fast startup off won't fix it. Try this:

Here's a silly workaround for the similarly silly new feature.

Some background first: Windows seems to shutdown as if %WINDIR%\system32\shutdown.exe was invoked with the /sg /hybrid /t 0 parameters. The magic is in the /sg parameter which tells it to "restart any registered applications" on the next boot. The "old" /s parameter still exists and shutdown can be invoked with it manually.

To quickly call shutdown.exe like that, create a shortcut either in your apps list (%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs for all users, %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs for the current user), or somewhere else and then pin it to start.

The important shortcut properties are the following:

Name: Shutdown
Target: %WINDIR%\system32\shutdown.exe /s /hybrid /t 0
Start in: %WINDIR%\system32
Optional:

Name: Add a non-breakable space (Alt+Num255) in front of it to appear at the top of the All Apps list. You can try other fancy Unicode characters if you like.
Run: Minimized to prevent the ugly command prompt from popping up shortly.
Icon: Change to something nice (there's an XP-style shutdown icon available in the default shell32.dll, or some close / critical icons in imageres.dll).
Comment: Leave a rant here about the dumb new feature.
