Windows Terminal version

1.14.1962.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

No other software, issue is with terminal itself.

Steps to reproduce

Terminal has been installed on my laptop from the Microsoft store.
When an update flows through the store it appears to close off my running terminal, will several tabs open, and then installs.
The running consoles become detached.

When i start the terminal again the consoles are not reattached.

I then have to kill all the consoles i was running and relaunch them. This sometimes means code that i have been running in powershell or WSL needs to be rerun.

Expected Behavior

Prompt to close the terminal app for the install, or install in the background and switch to the new version on next launch of terminal (dont know if this is even possible with store delivered apps), or reattach to the consoles (i know that this one is likely to be near impossible as you will not be able identify the old consoles).

Actual Behavior

terminal closes and all running consoles are detached from the terminal meaning they have to be killed from taskmgr.
