Description

I have updated to Terminal Preview 1.16.2641.0 and am still not seeing "Open in Terminal Preview" anywhere except when RMBing on a folder. Does not appear when clicking in the background of a folder, or on the desktop, which both should theoretically be fixed according to the commit

From Win10 20H2

Research direction

No source file or test is named in the issue. First reproduce the shell-extension behavior on Windows 10 20H2 with Terminal Preview 1.16.2641.0, checking the folder background and desktop context menus as well as right-clicking a folder. Done means “Open in Terminal Preview” appears in both missing locations.
