The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected

Re: menu->Exit->Exit to Prompt not working
Update:
I have done a few more things in Fossapup64 9.5
Major one being installed and now using the Nvidia 450 driver.
Done a few shutdowns and reboots.
Now menu->Exit->Exit to Prompt seems to be working OK

Re: menu->Exit->Exit to Prompt not working
cosin,
In Puppy the correct command is xwin not startx.
startx may seem to be doing the correct thing, but it is not doing all that is needed correctly.
xwin is actually a command script Puppy uses to start x server and do some other operations as part of correctly doing it.
Using the wrong command could be causing your problems.
