Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.778]
Windows Terminal version: update to 0.11.1191.0 and some versions before

Any other software?
wsl - Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

Steps to reproduce

Start a wsl session with a webpack-dev-server process running, wait for update from the microsoft store

Expected behavior

  • automatic reconnect to previous running tabs/processes ('small' feature request 😉)
  • or a manual option to reconnect to the orphaned wsl process
  • a fix for the automatic update as described in #3915
  • terminate the wsl process with a working #2232 (#2198) when updating

Actual behavior

The wsl process keeps running in the background as a orphaned process and its difficult for a user to terminate the correct one in the taskmanager. I use process explorer to find to one without a parent process.
