I have completely unistalled Visual Studio Code editor, reinstalled it at to much surprise have seen again the same: the editor opens in two windows, each one with several tabs containing a file relevant in some moment in the past. All are unsaved. I have tried various scenarios (1) close a tab and confirm I do not want to save it (2) save a file to a different catalouge (2) save to the original name. Always after I close and open the editor there are two windows, many tabs and the same files still unsaved.
