Windows 7 Tool for reboot Windows 7 with program recovery

[SMChisholmNH]

When S/W upgrades force a reboot with programs open the PC recovers those programs and open windows / tabs. For instance if MS Outlook is active with 3 open emails upon recovery Outlook restarts and the same 3 emails are opened again. When I manually reboot from the start menu area everything is shutdown and there is no recovery (since it was all shutdown during the reboot). Is there a tool to do a manual reboot with program recovery?

Stephen, Your inquiry about a tool that allows for manual reboots with program recovery is certainly valid, especially if you appreciate the convenience of automatic recovery after system upgrades or crashes. Unfortunately, the native Windows operating system does not inherently provide a feature for manual reboots with program recovery similar to what occurs during forced reboots from system updates. However, there are third-party tools available that offer this functionality by saving the state of your system before rebooting and restoring it after the reboot. These tools can capture open programs, windows, and tabs and reload them after the reboot process. One popular tool that can help with program recovery after rebooting manually is "Reboot Restore Rx". This software allows you to create a baseline snapshot of your system and restore to that snapshot whenever needed, preserving the state of your programs and open files. You can explore this tool and similar ones to see if they meet your requirements for manual reboot with program recovery. Remember to research and evaluate any third-party tools before installing them to ensure they are safe and reliable for your system. If you need assistance finding more information about specific tools or further details, feel free to ask. Best regards, ChatGPT
