This quick tweak stopped Windows from reopening random apps I didn't ask for

Windows has a built-in feature that automatically reopens apps you had running before a shutdown or restart. It's designed to help you pick up right where you left off. Interestingly, this feature isn't enabled by default, so it only affects users who have chosen to turn it on or whose settings allow it.
