Troubleshoot Windows 10 not really shutting down?

[RoboMan]

When i shut down the system or reboot, all programs that were open before reboot are still open... like it just hibernated. I disabled fast boot and it still didn't work. Also uninstalled Intel Management Interface and installed a previous version like mentioned on the web.

It's annoying because all issues that could be fixed by rebooting are not being fixed because the system isn't properly shutting down...

Any ideas? Have you suffered anything similar with recent Windows updates?

I haven't encounter that problem personaly (knock on wood) but my mom has. It is weird indeed and i have no idea where it could come from. Microsoft... you've successfully fail to ensure one of the most basic and essential fonction of an OS: shutting off

Jokes aside, i would really be curious to know what causes this behavior (broken update, driver, etc...) and if a clean install would solve the problem

Since nothing has changed on my system reciently (installed/uninstalled critical things) i'm thinking a failed update may be causing this...

@RoboMan have you tried to repair Windows through the use of installation media?

I'd look into using SFC and DSIM (in that order) to see if either of these fix the problems for you.

Information on SFC:

System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot

Information on DSIM:
How to use DISM command-line utility to repair a Windows 10 image

See if this helps! Sometimes a good check disk in /f mode can help too.

Keep us in the loop!

It is not a bug, it is a feature. You have to create shortcuts for restart/shutdown yourself.

shutdown /s /f /t 0
shutdown /r /f /t 0

/s - Shutdown the computer
/sg - Default since 1709. Shutdown the computer. On the next boot, restart any registered applications
/r - Full shutdown and restart the computer
/g - Default since 1709. Full shutdown and restart the computer. After the system is rebooted, restart any registered applications

Also, you might want to check this: Use sign-in info to auto finish after Update or Restart in Windows 10

Just turn off Hybrid Shutdown in power options. I do it with all of my systems to ensure proper, full shutdown. Also do the registry edit to force-close all apps after X amount of time. (10 seconds for me)

I've had just about every "feature" associated with the Fall CU: frozen Start/search/metro with bad shutdown: TaskHostWindow PlugandPlay requires installation upon reboot, blah, blah, blah. " A nearly $3000 machine was at times a large and decorative brick, requiring multiple strategies to regain function, finally without signing out/in. I make sure now to close everything before clicking "Shut down." Both Quick Boot in BIOS and fast startup/hibernate are disabled. Three clean installs and this still happens so it must be a "feature." As we speak, I am downloading kb4051963 cumulative update, let's see what adventures that brings.

Windows 10 - on restart opens programs from last session

Edit: deliberately left Chrome open and restarted machine to complete updates. When desktop loaded afterward, Chrome opened. So, thanks, @TairikuOkami, I may follow thru with your code.

I fixed it by following some advice on the article shared by @plat1098. Thanks!

This isn't due to hibernate.

I've confirmed the setting re-opening windows is the following

• Press [windows key + i]
• Select Accounts
• Click on 'Sign-in Options'
• Scroll to the bottom and turn off 'Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device after an update or restarty'
