One guess, do you use the quake window? The logic is that on first start (i.e. no terminals running) it will load the saved state, but of course if you have a hidden quake window open it won't reload state. If you want to make sure that all of the windows are closed there is the quit action that will close all open terminal windows and save all of their layouts.

On second thought, it is probably that this feature is not enabled on stable builds yet (just terminal preview). A future release will enable for stable builds. https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/12422

One thought - perhaps the documentation should state that this is available only in preview
Opened https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/terminal/issues/521 to reflect that
