This has happened about 3 times now if not more than that.

The Issue is:

I just locked the system using win+L. When I came back, the screen is alright waiting for me to enter password. After entering the password, it should resume from where I left last, right? But surprisingly, I see all the open apps are closed and windows behaving as if it's been restarted.

Note: Whenever this has happened, I gone out immediately after locking, so do not know what happened after that. Hope this is not some devil's work :(

Help me, please

First check for virus infections and second, run "sfc /scannow" in cmd.
