Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.9.1445.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  • Launch Windows Terminal Preview and ensure Terminal Preview is set as your default terminal
  • Open a quake window
  • Dismiss quake window with `Win+``
  • Close initial terminal window
  • Launch a ps1 file from file explorer

Since the quake window is the only open Terminal window, defterm launches into that instead of creating a new terminal instance.

Expected Behavior

A new terminal instance is created.

Actual Behavior

The quake window is opened and attempts to run the selected file.

I think #9475 might technically fix this as I believe the quake one won't allow other tabs to join it normally if dispatched through remoting...
