I am also having same issue as others using QB Pro Plus 2022.  Except my Notepad closes as well as Chrome. Funny thing is that notepad will close if its already a saved file but a new notepad open that has not been saved stays open like it should. 

Have not tried leaving lots of other apps open to see if they get closed out but these are usually always open on my desktop and not affected: Outlook 365, Adobe, Windows Explorer.
