Description

### Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19041.1052, 1.8.1521.0

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

1. Go to any directory in your user folder (for me I went to my Downloads folder)
2. Shift + Right-click any empty space in the background of the folder.

### Expected Behavior

There should be a context menu item for "Open Windows Terminal here"/"Open in Windows Terminal".

### Actual Behavior

There is no context menu item for Windows Terminal.

Note: Doing this on a folder icon/item still works.
