Yep it does restore application state as well, but it's a bit of a hit-and-miss. Notepad is restored surprisingly well - including unsaved text and multiple windows; Firefox and Edge browser tabs are restored; unsaved Word docs are restored as well but oddly enough, Outlook's state isnt restored (although it does save any unsaved drafs).
I'm guessing some sort of resume/restartable support is needed from the app as well for this to work properly. I imagine modern "UWP" apps would just work, but some additional coding might be needed for traditional win32 apps. Like Adobe Reader for instance, it doesn't get restored at all.
