Description of the Issue

NPP opens with a Blank Session, after Win10 Automatic Restart following Update.

It is very difficult to stop Win 10 from restarting by itself following an Update, during Inactive hours. The Internet is full of people searching on tips to avoid that.

What happens with NPP is that (it doesn't happen every time, but about once in 3 times), it does not safely save and close the Session.xml file.

I believe that when NPP is re-launched, it finds the Session.xml file corrupted, and over-writes it with a Blank Session file, and opens in a Blank Session.

It becomes a nag, because we have so many text files we are working on, arranged in a particular order, and working between them, as a Writer.
It's very difficult to recall which files were open and in which order, and then to get back to a semblance of where we where, we have to spend nearly half a day till we are somewhere comfortable again.

I had reported on this earlier, along with a Null file issue I had with unsaved files.

I had suggested for NPP to look at having a set of Time-stamped Session files, say about the latest 10 at all times, at whatever time interval you'll feel optimal.
At every new save, the oldest one would be removed.

So, for whatever reason, NPP crashes, or is force-closed before it can save and exit properly, which causes the Session.xml file to get corrupt.

NPP at next re-launch could check the integrity of the Session.xml file, attempt repair, and if not possible, load with the previous Session.xml file, and alert the user that this has happened and it has taken this action...

I am sure users would bless you for this, and feel so so much more secure using NPP.

Thanks a load for your wonderful program, and for all your support.
