Can you hibernate the Windows session once initially logged in?

I use the same setup for my current client, but I just suspend the Windows machine when I'm not using it. On startup, it's already logged in and ready to go.

That's on vmware, so whether something like Citrix works the same I don't know.

FFS if I have to use Office for the docs just give me a windows machine

Feels a bit like dual boot OS/2 has been reprised

Ours not to reason why etc etc -
