Everytime I restart my mac the finder window automatically opens. I am running macOS High Sierra 10.13.2. This started happening yesterday. These things didn't work:
running disk utility first aid
system preferences>user accounts>login items> checking - by the items (I removed all of them)
Please help!!!
MacBook Pro, iOS 11.1
It is-but I seem to have solved the problem by trying something else from this link below:

1) Restart your Mac by selecting Restart in the Apple menu, or press the Power (⎋) key to turn on your computer if it’s already turned off.
2) Do one of the following:
If you see the login screen: If the Automatic Login option is disabled in System Preferences → Login Options, the login window will require you to enter a password for your Mac user account.
Make sure you hold the Shift (⇧) key when logging in, then release it when you see the Dock. This shall prevent your Login Items from loading. (I pressed the shift key after typing in my password and hitting "enter" to login)
If you don’t see the login screen: You’ll be taken straight to the desktop, bypassing the login screen, provided the Automatic Login option is enabled in System Preferences → Login Options.
To prevent Login Items from loading when you restart or turn on your Mac, hold down the Shift (⇧) when OS X’s progress bar shows up on the startup screen. The startup screen appears after the startup chord plays. Release the key when the desktop shows up.
It seems to have worked! thank you for your reply.

When you go to your Apple menu > Shutdown (or Log out, or Restart) is "Reopen windows when logging back in" check marked?
