My MacBook Air keeps re-opening minimized programs.
I will be in the middle of using it when it will freeze for a second, then open all programs that I had previously minimized. Does anyone know how to stop this?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities, AWCarter!
Sounds like you're having some issues with your MacBook Air on iOS 10.10.5 freezing and then opening all of the apps you have minimized. I'd find that distracting myself so I'll be glad to help! Be sure to test the issue after every step.
Try safe mode if your Mac doesn‘t finish starting up -- Even though your Mac is starting up, safe mode will make sure it's starting up correctly.
How to test an issue in another user account on your Mac -- This issue sounds suspiciously like a software problem. This procedure will determine if it's throughout your system or only related to your user account.
Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac -- Before going further, I always recommend a fresh backup at this point. It's always better to "have" a backup than to "need" a backup.
About OS X Recovery -- If the issue occurred in the user you set up previously, start your Mac in OS X Recovery and reinstall the operating system.
Take care!
