Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
 Win32NT             10.0.19041.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.19041.0

Windows Terminal version (if applicable): **All versions**

Steps to reproduce

Open Microsoft Store > "Downloads and updates" > "Get updates"

Expected behavior

Microsoct Store update should either:

  • state that the app needs to close for update

Actual behavior

Whenever Windows updates the Windows Terminal app from the Microsoft Store, the application closes without any prior notice.
