[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1876855, member: 396914"] Interesting. The "Recents" in Finder on my system shows files, not applications. I have never seen a "Recent" in Finder with applications. From the other symptoms it sure seems like the system is restarting somehow and all the open programs are reopening. When you close a program, how do you do that? The red "X" does NOT exit most programs, it just pushes it out of view, leaving it running. If the machine sleeps, I think those hidden windows all open up again. Could that be it? The better (and proper) way to shut down an app and not have it running is to click on the app name in the top bar, then "Quit" the application. That actually shuts it down completely, not hidden, not running. [/QUOTE]
