Windows Terminal version

1.16.220921001-preview

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

openconsole

Steps to reproduce

Open an instance of Windows Terminal and then close it.

It does not happen always but most of the time it does.

Windows Terminal leaves behind a OpenConsole.exe instance running, I've seen up to six background OpenConsole.exe processes running.

Expected Behavior

OpenConsole.exe should close when Windows Terminal is closed

Actual Behavior

OpenConsole.exe does not close when Windows Terminal is closed
