    Hi, thanks for reaching out, glad to assist you today. It sounds like your PC might be going into hibernate or doing a fast startup instead of normal sleep, which can close all your apps. To fix it:

    • Go to Control Panel > Power Options
    • Click "Choose what the power buttons do"
    • Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
    • Uncheck "Turn on fast startup"
    • Save changes

    Also, go to Settings > System > Power & battery > Screen and sleep, and make sure only Sleep is selected — not Hibernate.

    Regards,

    Arlene D.
