Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.657]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Version: 0.9.433.0

Steps to reproduce

Choose a profile which is not the default profile
Run wt

Expected behavior

Open a new window with the same profile as the currently used profile

Actual behavior

Open a new window with the default profile

Context

It makes sense to have the best defaults as possible. If I ran a command from a certain profile (for example PowerShell) I would like to continue and use the same profile.
