I have an annoying issue with my Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit edition. Most times when I shutdown the computer then later in the day I turn it back on, some apps that I had open before would reopen again even though they are not set to start on Windows boot or user logon. I checked the Windows Registry, the "secret" Run folder in the Start Menu and even checked the startup tab in Task Manager. The two most common apps that start up again are Chrome and Outlook 2016. The attached screenshot is what startup entries I have.
I believe this may be an issue with Windows not clearing the system RAM or cache properly, and as since this issue isn't an error, my PC shutdowns normally and doesn't reboot. Would you be able to see if you could look into this please?
Change this in the registry ClearPageFileAtShutdown change Value data to 1
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
I think that's what your asking?
did you use Wise Memory Optimizer?
Brian: that key didn't exist in my registry so I created a DWORD value. I did a reboot with Chrome, Task Manager, Resource Monitor and Outlook 2016 purposely open. They all opened after that reboot, but thinking maybe the registry wasn't updated properly I did a 2nd and 3rd reboot but on each occasion all the apps I had open were all relaunched when I got back to the desktop. Clearing the pagefile didn't seem to resolve it.
f23948: No I don't use Wise Memory Optimizer. I have IOBit Advanced Systemcare which has a desktop widget in which I can clear the RAM. Do you think WMO will resolve my issue?

The clearpagefileatshutdown key is there from windows xp - windows 10. How you said that key wasnt there then a registry cleaning program cleaned it out which also means it cleaned out a lot of registry files which isnt good.
I use ccleaner to clean up only the parts i dont need on there. Like obsolete keys that were left behind from an uninstalled program. What im trying to get at is registry cleaning programs should only be used if you have a tech sense of mind.
Just throwing that out there
I think I miss read his question
Yeah, this is a new feature in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update that when you reboot the computer, it launches all the programs that you had launched before rebooting the computer. You now have to close everything before you reboot.
This is a good feature in a business setting, but not for general users.
Create a short cut with
Shutdown Command:
Code:
shutdown.exe /s /t 0
Restart Command:
Code:
shutdown.exe /r /t 0
