How to make Windows 10 keep windows and applications that you had in use open when you restart

Windows 10

A situation that surely most has happened in Windows 10. The computer restarts at the most inopportune moment. You were working at that time on a document, or you were writing an email, when the computer had to restart. When it is turned on again, in many cases these windows have to be reopened again.

This is something that for most users is annoying. Although there is a possible solution. Since we can configure Windows 10 so that these windows open again when we restart the computer, without us having to do something about it. The process to achieve this is not complicated.

This is a good form of power resume in this way what we were doing on the computer, without having to open everything again. Especially in the case of many open windows, this can be especially annoying. In this case, Windows 10 asks us to configure both the windows and the applications.

Keep windows open

Restore windows

In this case, the first thing we have to do is configure the windows. In a way that if we had a folder open in Windows 10 at that time, it will open again when the computer works again. The steps in this regard are not complicated. We have to open the file explorer first. We then press in view, one of the three tabs above and these options are then shown in the explorer. In it, we focus on the upper part and enter options, which is located on the right side.

When we click on options, a new window opens on the screen. We have a number of options in it. In the upper area there are several tabs, of which we have to click on View. Within this section we have a list with various functions and options. In it we must look for the option Restore folder windows prior to login and mark the square next to it.

Then, We just have to click on apply and then click on accept. In this way, these changes are already saved in Windows 10 officially. Which will allow that folder to reopen automatically when the computer restarts. Therefore, the windows have already been configured.

Keep apps open

Apps start

For applications, we will have to resort to the configuration of Windows 10. Therefore, we open this configuration using the Win + I key combination. Then, when it appears on the screen, we see that there are a series of sections available on the screen. The one we have to enter in this case is the accounts one. So we open it.

Within accounts we have to look for the section called Login Options. Then we have to look for the section called Privacy, which we usually find on the right side of the screen. So we have to look for an option that has a really long name. It is about Use my login information to finish configuring my device automatically after restarting or updating it. Next to it we will see that we find a switch.

So all we have to do in this case is proceed to the activation of said switch. This is already automatically saved on the computer. What this action means is that when the computer is restarted, when Windows 10 works again, we will not have to do anything to make the application open on the screen again. It will open automatically on your computer without our having to do it.

It is a really comfortable option to use. Especially in cases where Windows 10 has been restarted without us doing anything, as can happen in some updates, that suddenly only the computer restarts. So in any case, when the computer works again, we will have said app open on the screen again, to be able to continue working normally, as before it was restarted.
