If you are using Windows 10 the problem likely is a Windows "feature" that is reopening apps after restart.

Go to "Settings" > "Sign-in Options" > and toggle the option showing "Use my sign-in info to automatically finish setting up my device and reopen my apps after an update or restart." from "On" to "Off".
