Stop Windows 10 from Reopening your Previous Application

Introduction

As Windows 10 is the latest version of windows, it is highly advanced and does not forget the application you opened before restarting your system.

Some users do not feel the need to use those applications again, and closing the applications again feels like extra work.

Stop The Windows From Reopening Your Previous Application

If you experience windows opening your files and folders that are downloaded in the file folder, then you need to make the changes to disable the functioning.

The settings are different for this. The steps for this are the following:

Click on the file explorer.
Next, you need to press the view tab on the ribbon and look for the options button.
Then, you need to scroll down and locate and review the “Restore previous folder windows at logon”.
Make sure that it is unchecked or the reopening of the folder will be done again after the restarting of the PC.

The above steps will assist you in enabling the previous application to reopen when you restart your system. The steps might be different, but the same option is there for windows 7 and 8.

Disable The Startup Programs

If you have enabled the feature to startup the program automatically, then it will open every time you open the system. You can disable the feature in Windows 10’s setting app.

Steps in that direction are the following

Within the settings, go to the app, then go to the startup to manage the settings.
Choose the off option, and the application will not open after restarting the computer.

We would like to notify you that disabling applications will have some consequences.

For instance, if you have disabled dropbox, it will not synchronize with your files until you command it.

If you enable a hardware utility that works and normally runs on the notification area in the system tray, you need to launch it to begin or continue its work normally in the background.
