I'm curious how separate windows for registers is advantageous over
separate tabs. I routinely keep several registers open as well as
reports - all in tabs, and can easily switch between them. I've never
found a point where I'd like, or need, to see two tabs (and thus
windows) simultaneously.
That's just a curiosity.
I can see that if you need, or prefer working with separate windows,
however, there should be a way to get everything to re-open on a
subsequent launch.

Perhaps the OP's issue is variation of a slightly different issue that I've
asked about in the past.
I have Gnucash set so the tabs are across the top, and reports open as
additional tabs in the main window. I can open and configure many reports
during a session, and these reports survive a close and re-open. Thus I
configure each set of books to have all my favourite reports and graphs
available immediately upon opening the file.
BUT I have my registers set to open in separate windows (so I can work in
more than one at a time). The upshot is that if I close all the register
windows first, and then the main window (the one with the Chart of Accounts,
reports, graphs, etc), it all works as intended.
However, if one of the register windows is still open somewhere -- hidden
behind another app, perhaps -- when I close the main window, everything is
catastrophically lost. Reopening the file opens only the straggling register
window and I have to
re-establish a Chart of Accounts tab, and then labouriously reconstruct all
the reports and graphs I like.
I've been meaning to code a warning upon close if the main window (the
window including the Chart of Accounts tab) is ever closed when other
floating windows are still open, as this presumably would never happen on
purpose -- perhaps I will get to it one of these months as it drives me
crazy.
