Stry starting in safe mode?
To what end?
I don't really see a solution to her problem, other than just - every day make sure everything is closed so updates don't close your stuff unexpectedly.
Two reboots tonight right before going home, launching and closing her typical apps, will likely get them back into a clean (no auto recovery) state for tomorrow.

Does the computer need to actually go to sleep mode?

That's what I was thinking. Sleep mode/hibernate have caused many issues in my world over the years. Now I immediately disable both when setting up new workstations.

Need? Does any computer "need" to?
Nope, it doesn't need to - and FYI, I did change to stop sleeping on Tuesday, But haven't confirmed via the log that it's not still doing it... because I made those changes 10 days ago.. and it was still going to sleep afterwards.

I was just trying to justify the case of sleep there, but if it still happening it might something else on the power configuration.

If the user wants to leave things open overnight the user can deal with things not being correct the next morning end of discussion

That is unrelated to the thread specifically. But yeah - I don't disagree... but again, management gets to rule the company.

Does anyone still do that?

That is why I tell people the policy is to reboot every night before you leave for the day. Most people do... some don't. This is the exact reason why this is the policy.

Yup, I agree, end of day reboots are the smartest if you can get people to do it.

Most of our people do - the few (really the one) who doesn't is also the one in charge. I can't make them.

Sure you can. If it is company policy, you simply create a schedule task to reboot machines.

You, and others make it sound like I have a choice here - I only have two choices, perhaps three - 1) quit
2) according to you all ignore her
3) just stop talking to you all about trying to find solutions to provide to attempt to fix things. -

The CTJ talk. The talk where you give her the options and make her choose. You don't make up the options, you just enumerate the ones that exist.
No one has suggested any of the things you think we are recommending and missing the one choice we almost all agree on.
