Reboot without windows and apss

I usually have the Mac set to restart with reopen windows so windows and applications restart. My computer is shut down. This time I’d like to boot without anything launching. Is there a key I can hold at start up to override the setting and prevent applications and windows from reopening?


Thanks very much.

No problem. When you shutdown there's a dialog window…

uncheck "Reopen…". Plus some apps have their own startup settings.
