Mac startup reopening apps from previous sessions even though that option is unchecked

After the most recent update, whenever I startup my Mac it will reopen apps that were open when I finished the last session.

"Reopen windows when starting a new session" is unchecked, as it always has been.

Anyone experiencing the same?

I have seen this reported before. Have you tried toggling the check box in "Reopen windows when starting a new session" on and off?
