Windows Terminal version

any

Windows build number

10.0.19044.1288

Other Software

None

Steps to reproduce

Install -> Change any opacity setting -> It doesn't work

Expected Behavior

It should be transparent atleast?

Actual Behavior

It becomes slightly gray.

I'm using freshly installed Windows 10 N LTSC from 2021 (21h2)
I have media feature stuff installed, I've tried multiple versions of Terminal, none of them work as expected.
Also, I've tried using "acrylicOpacity" option, it has same behavior. And acrylic in the tab row works perfectly fine.

On my previous setup with 22H2 Pro it didn't have any problems with that.
