Visual Studio Code never reopens previous file or folder

Question

I have the exact opposite Problem of this question: Visual Studio Code always reopens previous file or folder

VSCode never seems to remembery my previously opened files and does always start with an empty window. I checked, if my Shortcut has the Parameter "-n" by accident (which would force this behaviour), but it's not there.

Is there a way to force VSCode to remember opened files and folders?

Answer 1

It seems, VsCode only remembers opened files, if you also have a folder opened. It doesn't matter, if this is just a Dummy Folder somewhere on your drive - if you open files outside of this folder, they will be remembered aswell.

I'm not sure if this is as designed, or a bug.

Edit: This is a bug and tracked here

Edit 2: To sum up the answers from below there are now two settings concerning this issue:

Hot exit has been implemented, which restores files which weren't saved before VS Code is closed. To change this, use this setting:

files.hotExit: "onExit" 

To reopen all files, use this setting:

window.restoreWindows: "all" 

But there is still on open issue with this found here.
