Automatically opening files
Hello Experts - I am looking for an application or technique that can remember what files/applications are open when shutting down a Windows 10 PC and automatically opening them again when I sign back in. We have a few users who are often referencing multiple documents and have to manually record where they were at the end of each day so they can resume the following morning. Is there such a thing out there that I can try out?

Or Suspend - I do that.

Thanks guys!
Hibernation should not cause security issues - you still have to sign in.
If the hibernation option is not an available option when shutting down, you will have to enable it.

Both Suspend and Hibernation require you to log back in. Which you use is a personal preference.

Though note, if you suspend and the files are on the network, you likely will not achieve your goal.
Many application maintain a recent list.
Presumably, shutdown of systems is by policy.
If network drops before the .... Or network comes back after application, the application will include errors that file was inaccessible ....

Thanks and good luck with users. Recent Files has proven workable for my clients.
The latest windows 10 version 1709 has this built-in: http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/stop-auto-reopen-programs-restart-windows-10/
If that ain't enough, I would rather use hibernation than suspend since it uses less (almost zero) energy and only consumes a few seconds more time (up to half a minute on slow machines).

I had seen that but so far, Windows (Microsoft's) attempt to help has not been universally useful. It is improved again in the Insider version so it is a work in progress.
