As mentioned in the title, every time I turn my computer back on, 1 or 2 programs which I had CLOSED before shutting it down are just relaunched.

The solution posted here doesn't work, since the option is not showing in my PC.

The strangest part is that this is happening with apps that I fully closed. I never shut my PC off when anything is open, and the thing is still restarting everything open again.

Try these :

Group Policy Edit

  • Open the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc)
  • Navigate to : Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Logon Option
  • Double-click on Sign-in last interactive user automatically after a system-initiated restart
  • Set it to Disabled and click OK.

Manual shutdown

If nothing else works for you, use the command shutdown /s /t 0 in the Run box or CMD. You may also create and use a desktop shortcut for this command.

For Windows to use fast-boot on next boot, use the command shutdown /s /hybrid /t 0.

There are also reports that shutdown using the classical method of pressing Alt+F4 also avoids this problem.
