First and foremost, this is a great piece of software! I love it! Thanks you for all the hard work on this!

Description of the Issue

If Notepad++ was open before a windows restart (for windows updates for example) it will not be reopened after the restart had completed.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Open notepad++
  2. Restart windows
  3. --> Notepad++ is not lunched after the system finishes to boot up.

Expected Behavior

This is more of a feature request, but it would be nice if notepad++ could be opened after restart

Actual Behavior

I need to manually open it.

Debug Information

Not a bug...

More info

I think the following article might help, but I haven't been writing in C++ for a long time so I'm not sure:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/recovery/registering-for-application-restart

Also worth noting:
I use windows and other applications such as outlook, edge, chrome, teams etc... have been adopting this behavior lately, and I think it's a great user experience.
I'm also using a mac (which sadly can't run notepad++ >>sob<<) and has this experience for longer time now.

Add Win10+ OS Restart-app feature
87efdf5 
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: #12541 (comment)

To disable this feature, add "noRestartAutomatically.xml" into "%APPDATA%\Notepad++\" or Notepad++ installation directory.

Fix #9722, fix #11721, fix #11934, close #14074
