I noticed Windows's start menu only updates certain tracked files (e.g., remove deleted files) on a normal shutdown + start, and not on a restart.

Which is odd because I was under the impression a restart is the only "true" shutdown due to fastboot behavior.

I didn't look too much into it and chalked it up to a quirk of Windows start menu behavior in tracking recent files.
