Shutdown while open does not remember last position

I posted a thread in the wish list, but I still think it's a bug that needs to be addressed.

It's not a bug.

The cause of your issue is that you are using Task Scheduler to abruptly kill a process. MusicBee can't be blamed for that.
If you want to achieve this in a proper manner using Task Scheduler you could use AHK (AutoHotKey) to have it close MusicBee properly before your Windows gets shutdown:

howto:

1.
Create a global shortcut in MusicBee to close it.
(General: exit MusicBee)
For this example use: [ctrl]+[shift]+[F4]

2.
Install AHK and create a script for it:

Code

PressTheKey:
Send, {ctrl down}{shift down}{F4}{shift up}{ctrl up}

3.
Save the script, then right-click it, and select 'Compile Script'.
Save the resulting AHK .exe script somewhere. (you can delete the .ahk version)

4.
In Task Scheduler create a task to run this AHK .exe script e.g. 1 min. before you have Windows shutdown.

Now MusicBee will get closed properly and should restart the way you have set it in preferences.

In case anyone stumbles upon this thread and they have the plugin "windows 10 media control overlay" this may be at fault

Not much of a solution, more of a compromise.

is the same issue also happening because you are using that plugin? Otherwise you should try the v3.4 patch version which made a change to how cached data is saved on windows shutdown
