Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.20206.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): dev build at master 9279b7a7

Steps to reproduce

  1. Right-click on "Windows Terminal Dev" from the start menu or taskbar
  2. Click a jumplist item

Expected behavior

The jumplist item opens the selected profile in "Windows Terminal Dev" (wtd.exe), since it was the application I right-clicked.

Actual behavior

The jumplist item attempts to open the selected profile in "Windows Terminal" from the Microsoft Store (wt.exe).

Additionally, common profiles (like "Command Prompt" or "Windows PowerShell") open as expected in "Windows Terminal" wt.exe, but obviously profiles that are configured for "Windows Terminal Dev" (wtd.exe) don't exist in "Windows Terminal" (wt.exe) and open the default profile instead.
