Depending on how and where things are terminated, sometimes there are leftover processes when things are crashing.

This bug represents ensuring that we can kill any of the following in the chain and have the remainder of them clean themselves up.

  • client application like cmd.exe
  • inbox conhost.exe
  • packaged openconsole.exe
  • terminal windowsterminaal.exe

We seem to have this pretty reliable already for things started from the Terminal side... but it's not as robust for things coming in from the DefApp inbound connection side.
