So I have fast starup disabled, and windows is still doing the thing where I'll turn my pc on and it'll have a chrome window playing whatever youtube videos before i even log in.

Also, any idea on how to start tracking down bluescreenless crashes?

This is expected behavior with Fall Creators Update - Windows now wants to reopen stuff you had open. Close Chrome before restarting/shutting down to avoid this.

I'm not a fan of it, myself, but I close programs before shutting down anyway so it doesn't really affect me.

I think my errors might be to do with vpn software I got from uni. There are thousands of errors relating to it over the past couple of days in the event log, I got 2 bluescreenless crashes within 3 minutes about 90 minutes ago, but this time I closed it on startup and nothings failed yet. I'm boned when I have top use Jira, I guess it doesn't like Ryzen or something?

Early Ryzen has a segfault bug that most commonly appears during compiles, contact AMD and they'll send you a replacement for free.

No joke.

He just said he has that disabled.

This is a totally different feature that works like what macOS does: It logs in the last user in the background and reopens any windows. I don’t know how to disable it (or why you would want to), but you can just shutdown from the command prompt or create a shortcut to do it.

Mine shouldn't be early, I got it months after release when that was already a known issue. I really don't wanna have to pull the heatsink off, it was annoying as hell to get on.

This. Close your programs before you shut down, if you don't want them to reopen automatically.



And, by "bluescreenless crashes" do you mean unexpected sudden reboots? As in one second you're looking at Windows the next you're looking at BIOS/firmware booting?

If you're getting crashes so immediate that Windows doesn't have time to log an event that points to a hardware issue of some sort at least. I don't think AMD recalled any chips so it's entirely possible you got an old chip still in the supply chain if you didn't check it immediately, but I don't know the details of how the Ryzen chip replacement process works. Someone in the AMD thread probably does though.

The computer locks up, 1 time it looked like it was trying to write a bluescreen because 80% of the screen went blue and there were random looking white bits that looked like that effect from windows xp when you dragged a window around and the ghosts got stuck. Every other time it just freezes on whatever is displayed. 100% of the time the audio glitches out, like its stuck playing whatever frequencies it was playing when the crash happened.

For all of them I have to hold my power button down

I had similar lockups, vape, and the symptoms you've described sound like a hardware fault for sure, especially with the screen crapping out. The closest I could get to a solution was that it might have been the GPU or motherboard. I certainly couldn't find any hardware faults through testing, and I had my doubts about the mobo, but it was way too old for me to easily find a replacement.

In the end I built a new PC, because I was planning to anyway. My guess would be that the motherboard is at fault, but I'm not sure how you would tell without buying a replacement. Otherwise, maybe stress test the GPU to see if it crashes the system? My old GPU has worked fine in my new system, so it wasn't that in my case.

[edit] RAM is easy to test as well, if you haven't already, could be that as well.

Apparently hitting win + D and then hitting alt f4 will bring up the classic shutdown dialog. This will prevent applications from reopening.

If only is were possible to have these things called "settings" where you can check little boxes and select things from pull down menus to make things work the way you want to, MS should consider adopting this revolutionary concept.

I was very confused why this auto-restore poo poo never worked for me, but I guess this explains it. Yeah, if you are literally too loving lazy to close your porn before shutting off your computer, just use the Alt-F4 shutdown menu from the desktop. Also works for avoiding mandatory updates if you need your computer turned off right now, IIRC. Used to, at least.

I have my Mac connected to my PC and on Win7 accessing the Mac's files was a breeze but on Win10 when I try to access the Mac Windows says it can't connect, giving the old "the name might be wrong" and "check your connection" excuses for about a couple of minutes and then it suddenly works just fine. It's not a huge problem but having to wait a few minutes until I can access files on my Mac is kind of a drag. Is this a common thing? I connected the two by allowing the PC to access the Mac's files on the Mac and just typing the name of the Mac on the resource management address bar and entering username/password.

Automatically re-opening programs after a reboot is fine.

What is not fine is not having an option to disable that behavior, like in OSX where you can uncheck "Automatically reopen..." when you reboot/shutdown.

Hibernate hibernates; the behavior of shutdown depends on the "fast startup" option.

Having youtube videos, sometimes multiple, start playing before log in is a far cry from having my open windows "restore exactly as they were".

But the real issue is that there should be two different buttons here. "Close everything and shut down" and "save everything and shut down". Windows isn't spectacular at doing either one of those.

That's more of a complaint for the browser devs/website devs in question, to be fair. Windows reopens the program; the browser lets the website go ahead and autoplay it. Same thing would happen if you closed the browser and reopened it yourself. :shobon:

It's nice for laptops or tablets that you're trying to conserve power on while moving to another location, but still want all your apps ready to go once you've arrived. Plain sleep is frustrating sometimes when something wakes it and then it's running hot in your bag for an hour because of some dumb reason, or it detects screen rotation and switches to portrait mode and all your windows get rearranged and resized because Windows is bad at putting things back where they were.

For desktops though hibernate is pretty much unnecessary yeah, except for some corner case where you need to go into full power off but don't want to shut everything down or don't have time to (power outage and on lovely UPS?).

After testing, it seems to work for me - at least in combination with whatever other settings I have that may be relevant (Power Button Behavior = Shut Down, Fast Startup = On, who knows what else). Worth checking out for those who it annoys, at any rate.

The real problem is the somewhat random nature of the new 'feature' - it opens some but not all of what was running before the PC shut down. Not the same stuff each time either.
