Steps to reproduce

Open multiple terminal session in one or more windows, close all windows.
Click on taskbar, there is an icon for each window that was open, that when clicked nothing happens.

Expected Behavior

WindowsTerminal processes terminating after closing all terminal instances using terminal window [x] close button.

Actual Behavior

Strangely enough, when reopening it always opens an extra powershell window next to another where it restores my previous session in a single window with different instances, one pwsh, one cmd, 3 wsl related sessions.

Image

I usually close the extra pwsh window and keep one open with the multiple sessions on it.
But the icons stay on in the taskbar area, and also when I close the multi session window.
