Windows and Editors not restored after reboot (1.25.1 on Windows 10 1803)

[youurayy]

• VSCode Version: 1.25.1
• OS Version: Windows

Note: This is NOT a duplicate of #50846 which is about a loss of VS Code windows when VS Code is started by opening a file.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Set VSCode to "window.restoreWindows": "all",
2. Open a VSCode window in some folder, and open a few files.
3. Optional: open more VSCode windows and open some files in each.
4. Reboot the system via start menu.
5. When booted, start VSCode

Expected result: All VSCode windows and all editors in their remembered tab splits and tab positions should be restored (this worked in previous versions).

Actual result: only the first VSCode window is restored, and no editors are restored (the window is empty).

Note: when VSCode is closed by right-clicking on the Taskbar icon, and clicking "Close all windows", the Editors are restored, but only the first Window is reopened.

User sentiment: it's really tiring to have to manually reopen ~6 windows with 20's of tabs each on every Windows restart, which there are plenty.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes, tested!

My VSCode config:

    "window.zoomLevel": 0,
    "workbench.statusBar.visible": false,
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "editor.wordWrap": "on",

@bpasero windows aren't restored even when VSCode closed from system taskbar by "Close all windows".

[bpasero]

@youurayy that is expected, it will actually trigger a close of each window one by one and as such is different from File > Exit where no windows close but the application quits.
