wsl session keeps running in background on automatic update by microsoft store

[Lakerfield]

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 Terminal windows are closed whenever updated from the store #3915
• terminate the wsl process with a working reports that some processes continue running even after the tab has been closed #2232 (Remove job object and startup suspended behavior #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.

As far as I can tell, this is on purpose. WSL supports background execution, so it opts to run in the background on its own. There is nothing Terminal can do to stop this, and there's nothing that we can do to reattach to it.

There is a copy of "OpenConsole.exe" associated with every Terminal tab -- if there's one of those running alongside the stray WSL application, it's a terminal bug. If there isn't, the application explicitly detached itself. 😄 sorry!
