Ocassionally, OrCAD Capture 10.5, upon initiating, comes up with the
dialog that has found some application which "did not close properly"
and "do you want to save the project now?" follow-on dialog. I have
always shutdown my projects very meticulously, even so, this dual
dialog issue comes around about 30% of the time. I never loose
anything, but it makes me wonder.

Incidentally, this error dialog only shows when starting OrCAD Capture
from a cold computer boot-up. After I have used Capture, I can close
and open it up a million times and never see this issue.

Any thoughts people?

Sounds like a typical M$OS dirty shutdown problem. Try always closing OrCad
Capture cleanly before shutting down. Maybe even restart Capture and
reclose with no changes, as well (this usually kills some temp files that
M$OS creates.) Luck.
