Steps to reproduce

configure the options:

{
      "command": 
      {
          "action": "globalSummon"
      },
      "keys": "ctrl+alt+t"
},

and

"compatibility.allowHeadless": true,
"minimizeToNotificationArea": true,

then open a window and close it (click on the top bar X).

try to make the window apper again.

Expected Behavior

A month ago it would allow me to close the window (click on the top bar X) and keep it running on background with an icon in the tray. I would click the icon or hit ctrl+alt+t to focus the window and use the teminal.

Actual Behavior

When I close the window (click on the top bar X) now I cant make it focus or apper in anyway. Not the shortcut, not clicking on the tray icon, nor even trying to open a new application window via start menu. The only action I can take after closing a window is going into the taskmanager, closing the terminal and then open it again. :/
