Steps to reproduce

Right-click and open windows terminal in a particular directory, for eg D drive and open new tabs of different profiles

Expected Behavior

Default profiles, as well as other profiles, should open with current working directory set to D:\

Actual Behavior

Default profile(Powershell in my case) opens in D:\ but other profiles when opened using new tabs open in the User home directory. i.e., C:\Users<Username>

Default profile opens in D drive
