WindowsTerminal opens minimized on C/C++

Type: Bug

Hello

This is kinda a followup from #204039, but not complete.

in the new version, pressing F5 to start the debug session works again. But if you have already another wt.exe open (unrelated to your project), the new one will only start once in the foreground, and after that it starts minimized.

To reproduce:

Make a small sample helloworld.cpp project
Open a Windows Terminal, and just leave it there (dont close it)
Press F5 in your Project => The WT for your Project gets started and you can see it
Close the WT from your project
Press F5 again => You wont see the WT anymore, since this time it started minimized

It will always start minimized until you close the other wt.exe that is running.

If you dont have any other WT.exe running, then it works without any issues
