Enable automatic restart of apps in Windows 11

Stefan

Windows 11 has a feature that automatically restarts apps or programs. The next time the user logs in again, the programs or apps will start automatically.

Windows 11 detects and saves running programs and apps before restarting them. When the user logs back in, Windows automatically restores previously running programs.

Not all apps support restarting. In fact, third-party apps must register as restartable apps so that Windows 11 restarts these apps the next time the user logs into the computer.
