Not trying to channel Steve Ballmer's developers chant...or whatever that was...but anyway...

Following an automated reboot (after last Tuesday's patches), Windows logs me back in then proceeds to load 8 instances of every Explorer window I previously had opened.

That is, if I had 5 Explorer windows, each showing a different folder, after the reboot, I'm going to end up with at least 40 Explorer windows...

This has been happening for maybe 2 years on this one system I'm using; sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't...I don't kow what triggers it, or how to avoid it. Or rather, I avoid it by only rebooting Windows when I have no choice after patches, or when it decides to do it on its own, despite me telling it otherwise (but that's another story).

I've never seen this on any other system, only this one instance of Windows 10, which does it consistently enough to say it's more likely to happen than not. It's on 22H2, but so are all my other physical and virtual systems.

I can't come up with the right incantation of search keywords to try to determine how widespread this might be, or what a solution might consist of.

Has anyone seen something like this?
