VS Code opens files from previous settings regardless of the restoreWindows setting

[Dyoung0606]

• VSCode Version: 1.25.1
• OS Version :Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

Steps to Reproduce:

1. From a command prompt, type "code (some folder)"
   (without the quotes)
2. Update user settings to include:
   "window.restoreWindows": "none"
3. Close VS Code
4. From a command prompt, type "code (that same folder)"
   (without the quotes)

Expected Result:
VS Code launches with no files open in the editor tab

Actual Result:
VS Code launches with all files opened that were opened in the previous session.

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

@Dyoung0606, you launch with code <someFolder>. In this case you explicitly tell code to open that folder and therefore it restores its state. You ask for a new behavior: starting a new blank session of a given workspace.
