Applications start automatically under Windows 11, why?


Applications, or APPs for short, are started automatically under Windows 11 if this option has been activated, but there are several options!



1.) ... Check the APP autostart option in the Windows settings!
2.) ... Check and adapt the classic autostart in the task manager!
3.) ... Prevent or allow the last folder to be opened in MS Explorer!
4.) ... APP's autostart under Windows 11 settings!
5.) ... Why is it so complicated or separate in Windows 11?


To prevent Windows 11 from reopening your previous applications after restarting your PC, depending on your auto-start preferences, you can activate or deactivate different autostart options! 

1.) Check the APP autostart option in the Windows settings!


1. As always, open the Windows 11 settings  Windows + i

2. Go to Accounts   on the left 

3. Scroll on the right to the item Sign-in options

4. Scroll to the item "Automatically save my restartable apps, and restart them ..."

5. Deactivate this option, or activate it if you wish

5.) Why is it so complicated or separate in MS Windows 11 OS?



There are different options for modern MS Store applications and for desktop programs. These use different auto-start options. But they can easily be adapted, deactivated or activated as described here!    

When you shut down or log out, Windows 11 remembers which applications you had open. It will start them automatically the next time you start your PC. You can turn this off if you want to log in to a clean desktop.

It should be noted that disabling some applications has consequences, for example if you disable applications that automatically sync your files. Or if you disable a utility that normally runs in your notification area or in the system tray!
