When Windows update finishes installing critical updates, it frequently forces a restart. When the system triggers a forced restart, the session comes back with everything open as it was. This includes all open files (regardless of program - Word, Excel, QuickBooks, Notepad, etc.), all emails that were open during an MS Outlook session, and all browser tabs (IE, Chrome, etc.).
I frequently have 50 or more instances of something open while working and prefer not to reboot any more often than necessary, due to the effort required to close out, remember and reopen the particular files/tabs/emails. However, thanks to good old MS memory management, occasionally a reboot is necessary due to drivers stopping or browsers hogging memory.
Because Windows 7 can be rebooted and reopen a complete session and all files, etc. when necessary after a Windows Update, how can I do that during one of my reboots?
