Windows – How to initiate a Full Reboot/Shutdown on Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

rebootshutdownwindows 10windows-10-v1709

Environment: Windows 10 Fall Creators Update / 1709

Background: There is a new feature in the Fall Creators update where post reboot applications and browser windows are reopened to the state they were in before the reboot.

Issue: The only time I really reboot is when I no longer want the applications to be open. It's driving me crazy that I can't fully shutdown/reboot the machine.

Solutions attempted I always reboot by using Win+R and running Shutdown -r -t 0. The -r option should do a full reboot but that isn't working for me.

Any other suggestions or hacks to control via command-line on how to do a full reboot vs. this Zombie reboot (Which is a feature I like when I did not want to reboot and had to).

Best Answer

Open Cortana settings and disable the option Pick up where I left off

Now the programs should no longer open again.

If this doesn't help, open Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) go to Computer Configuration -> Policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Logon Option

Set the Policy Name: Sign-in last interactive user automatically after a system-initiated restart to Disabled.

Windows 10 installing Fall Creators Update (Samsung NVME SSD)

Success/solution!
I have the same system (more or less, same x299 MB and 960 Pro NVME drive).
I got this to work, finally, after building custom boot media, trying some things reported, like disabling SMART, and more.
Nothing worked, and I was unwilling to trash my install and do a clean one, at least not yet...

What did the deal for me was moving the drive into a "fake RAID" mode, by enabling it under IRST. I'm almost positive this abstracts (i.e. doesn't use) the NVME bus, and then update to 16299.19 (with patch) went off without a hitch, finally!

Afterwards, I "flipped" it back to AHCI, so it could run through NVME and re-installed the Samsung NVME driver.
Under IRST I was getting about 50% performance (50% of the Samsung driver, which gives me about a 40% boost over the Inbox NVME driver), so basically about half-speed of NVME.
I'm set though, and hopefully this will help others that are stuck on the Fall Creators build, with a Samsung NVME drive...
Good thing to "keep in the back of your mind" too, whenever a major update needs to boot minimally, this might still be necessary (depending on NVME Windows integration AND BIOS updates).

Windows – IIS 10 – Cannot read \\?\ configuration file

The issue is related to the temporary symbolic links created for the application pools by IIS/WAS being messed up during the Windows Update process for installing Fall Creators Update.

The steps to solve the problem are (at an administrator powershell):

Stop-Service -Force W3SVC
Stop-Service -Force WAS
Foreach($item in Get-ChildItem C:\inetpub\temp\appPools){
  if([IO.File]::Exists($item.FullName)){
    Remove-Item $item -Force
  } else {
    [IO.Directory]::Delete($folder.FullName,$true);
  }
}
Start-Service W3SVC 
Start-Service WAS

Deleting everything (files, folders and shortcuts) under "c:\inetpub\temp\apppools" will clear the temp files and the incorrect symbolic links, and starting IIS/WAS again should create them back and fix the issue.

Edit Microsoft have documented the issue in the following KB: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4050891/error-http-503-and-was-event-5189-from-web-applications-on-windows-10
