Windows Terminal version

1.14.2281.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Running wt ; on Windows 10 does not open two tabs as expected. Did a clean install from MS Store

On another Windows 11 machine (up to date, wt version: 1.14.1963) the command works as expected.

Expected Behavior

Open a single instance of Windows Terminal and have two tabs open.

On: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/command-line-arguments it does not say that it should not be supported and it would not make much sense either. The version there is newer than the one I have on Win11 (I did an update from an older version to see if what I was using was too old.. but that did not resolve it)

Actual Behavior

Opened a single instance of Windows Terminal and had only one tab open.
