  1. Is there a way to shut down the PC without closing the open programs?


    I need to switch between two computers.

    I have to work on one intensively and would like to have the programs and websites still be open after I shut down the PC (the PC has to be taken off from the power supply sadly). Any workarounds in the year of 2024 or is that simply not possible?

    Computer in sleep mode shuts down open programs

    When your computer is in hibernate mode, does all your programs have been shut off or closed? May we know what's the specific program that you use? Let's try to reset Power schemes. Please follow the steps below:

    • Right on Start button, > select Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Copy and paste the command below:
    powercfg -restoredefaultschemes

    • When finished, close the command prompt then reboot your PC.

    Keep us updated with results.

    Please give steps to open the paths to Program Files

    If you want to open File Explorer to your C: drive without any registry tweaks, you'll need to do so from a shortcut you create.
    1. Open File Explorer to This PC.
    2. Right-click Winndows (CIs there a way to shut down the PC without closing the open programs? :) and select Create Shortcut:

    Is there a way to shut down the PC without closing the open programs?

    Any software to lock a running program?

    Does anyone know of an ap or program that will allow me to lock software while in use so that it cannot be closed without a password or similar?

    For example, if I have a media player open and running music is there a way or an ap that will allow no one to be able to close it, minimize it or use any other software on the PC?

    Thanks for any suggestions...
