Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-10-22 19:47:50 UTC 
A sort of "fake session restore" that simply re-opens apps that were present at logout has been implemented in Plasma 6.2 IIRC.

Real session restore that restores apps window positions (Bug 15329) and content (Bug 436318) are still a work in progress.
