Description

@HarelM

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.
