Gedit in Windows creates multiple instances [closed]

I installed the latest version (2.30.1) of Gedit for Windows. And whenever I open files from explorer with gedit, it won't open as tabs in the current instance, instead it opens a new window for each file, like a notepad. I do not like this behavior. Is there any way to configure gedit to open files in the same window as tabs?
