Welcome page always shows on startup

[Nicras]

🐛 As title says, every time I launch VSCode, the Welcome page shows up, regardless of the checkmark at the bottom right "Show this page on startup".

Thanks in advance

Right.. it's annoying. Should exist some option to turn off this or in #942 VSC globaly. Lets say that any plugin hvae this and before work firstly we must close all news about updates/features. It's beter to do some "sumary list of extensions changes" in VSC. Can be useful in case that after restart of VSC this cheking updates and updating many ext. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/82537

Have you tried turning off the checkbox ? Does it still opens at startup.

If applicable, add screenshots or paste the console log from developer console of VSCode (Help Menu > Developer Tool - Console Tab).

Can you post any developer console log, if there is any

Same problem with v3.4.3 on Ubuntu, even after unchecking the checkbox it keeps showing on startup ! Any update on this ?

Same here.

I have tried checking and unchecking the 'Show this page on startup' checkbox but every time I open Visual Studio Code the window keeps showing.

This has happened on an iMac 27" and MacBook Pro 16" 2020, both running Catalina.

I've turned it off now, just too annoying.

Same here on my MacBook Air M1 and (older) iMac. A fix would be awesome! Thanks!

The package hasn't been updated since 2019. Seems unlikely this will be fixed unless one of us does it :)

[Raul-Gallardo]

I had to uninstall it and install it again, it worked.

Don't know if it would help but i just find out this library is deprecated and we should us the build in functionality.

Hope it helps.
