Shutdown question

After my PC runs several hours, it starts to get disk intensive and slow. If I want to speed it up, it's a reboot. I'm looking at increasing RAM to avoid this.

But in the meantime a question:

I have dozens of IE tabs open. After a reboot, I like to use 'restore session' to bring them back. But if I shut down the OS, it won't do it.

Only if I power off the PC to shut it down - then the 'restore sessions' is available.

But I suspect that may be risking problems, such as to the hardware, especially the SSD, so is there a better way?
 
Have you tried logging out and back in to clear the lag?

I'm surprised IE has a restore session option... A quick look and I see the option to "Reopen last browsing session" under Tools. Try that.

Doesn't logging out close the browser? When I've tried 'reopen last browsing session' without a hard power off, it only re-opens one browser tab.

But that may have involved having opened a browser window... could test more but would risk losing all the current tabs.

Yes, it does. It closes all programs not started automatically at Windows startup.

The best way to test this would be with a separate user account, but I just tested this, and with three tabs open I closed the browser. After restarting IE I automatically get the home page, and when choosing Tools > Reopen... I get the three tabs from previous session in addition to the current home page tab (4 tabs total). Maybe you need to adjust your Tab settings under Internet Options (General).
