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 fi

Answer 1

I have tried the window.reopenFolders options, and found that the folder(s) and file(s) will re-open if starting VSCode from the desktop icon, but if I click on a file in explorer and it uses VSCode to open (and VSCode is not currently running), the previous folder and files don't open. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this.
