Visual Studio 2017: Solution Explorer and other ancillary tabs/windows always closing and having to be re-opened

Every time I close a solution, or start debugging, or stop debugging, everything except the main code tab auto-hides.

This includes anything docked to the right - like the Solution Explorer, Properties, etc. (for me at least). It also includes everything docked to the bottom - like the Find Results, Output, Immediate Window, Error List, etc. (again, for me at least).

I cannot find a setting that keeps these docked items open. I find it very annoying that I have to keep re-opening them and would like to find a more permanent solution.

I recently updated from VS 2013. It did not do this.

Is there a setting? Is it something else? I am running on Windows Server 2012 R2. I open Visual Studios as the Administrator.

To Optimize Visual Studio Startup Time, VS2017 has introduced new feature Manage Visual Studio Performance under help menu. Using this option, one can override startup behavior of tool window like error list, package manager console etc.
