Description
### Windows Terminal version
1.12.10393.0
### Windows build number
10.0.22000.493
### Other Software
_No response_
### Steps to reproduce
1) Open Terminal
2) Open a second tab
3) Minimize Terminal
4) Right click Terminal on the taskbar and select "Close all Windows"
This _might_ be a bigger issue than just Terminal. I recall mspaint doing this, but it doesn't anymore. Notepad does properly reappear out of nowhere to ask me to save my work, so it does seem _possible_.
### Expected Behavior
Terminal opens and comes to foreground to present the "Do you want to close all tabs?" dialog
### Actual Behavior
Nothing happens. Presumably the dialog shows but restoring the window closes the dialog, so I never see it.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the Windows Terminal 1.12.10393.0 behavior using the listed steps, especially minimizing the window before choosing “Close all Windows” from the taskbar. Trace the close-all handling and window activation behavior; done means the confirmation dialog is visible in the foreground instead of disappearing.
