Windows Terminal version

1.14.1962.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.1826

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  • run Windows Terminal (v.1.14, v.1.15) as administrator;
  • minimize the window;
  • try to restore the Window Terminal again (clicking on its button in taskbar, using Window manager (Alt+Tab));

There are workarounds to bring the window back.

  1. @gabbymouth suggests to click Shift+Right mouse button on WT button in taskbar and then select the Restore option in small menu.
  2. If WT were configured to attach the new WT to recent one, then run the new WT as Admin, it would be restored again.

First, I faced the problem on Preview WT v1.15, it was very annoying so I downgraded to v1.13 and it worked as I think until it has automatically been upgraded to v1.14.

Expected Behavior

The window of WindowsTerminal must to be restored/open

Actual Behavior

The window of WindowsTerminal stays minimized.
