It will allow for the Notepad++ to be a "restartable app", like some other SW can do today (eg Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or all the Microsoft UWP apps). This is to create a seamless experience wherein, if you have to reboot your PC, you can now pick back up from where you left off and resume being productive. The OS app-restart feature needs at least Windows 10 (20H1) and the user has to switch on the "Restart apps" in the system Settings (subsection Accounts > Sign-in options). Implemented as per previous discussion: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/12541#issuecomment-1332662024 To disable this feature, add "noRestartAutomatically.xml" into "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\" or Notepad++ installation directory. Fix #9722, fix #11721, fix #11934, close #14074
