"code" command-line utility isn't restoring the previous session

[BrendanMartin]

• VSCode Version: 1.41.1
• OS Version: Windows 10

When I'm done for the day I just shutdown without closing code and let Windows shutdown close everything for me. The next day I'll run start /B "" code path/to/my/project as part of a batch file and vscode will open my directory, but won't have any of my previous tabs open.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open folder in VSCode using start /B "" code path/to/my/project. Open tabs and use normally.
2. Shutdown computer without manually closing VSCode. Let Windows shutdown process close VSCode.
3. Restart computer
4. Reopen folder in VSCode using start /B "" code path/to/my/project. Previous session tabs are not restored.

I've checked similar issues to this and have set Hot Exit to onExitAndWindowClose, but the problem still occurs.

Please remove it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as a swastika.
