When open multi-instances of the Electron app, the first one is opened normally but the second one doesn't load settings. This doesn't happen on the old release (2.0.180418).

1. Open the app and adjust settings freely, e.g. change language and login mode.
2. Close the window.
3. Open the app and keep the window opened.
4. Open the second window of the app.

**Expected behavior**
The second window doesn't load the settings.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the settings-loading behavior with multiple Electron windows using the reported steps on Windows, then trace the app's instance startup and settings initialization; done means the second window loads the adjusted language and login mode settings consistently.
