Description

### Windows Terminal version

1.15.2874.0

### Windows build number

10.0.19041.928

### Other Software

_No response_

### Steps to reproduce

1. Boot Windows
2. Launch Windows Terminal
3. Press Windows+`

### Expected Behavior

The quake menu should pop up.

### Actual Behavior

On the first launch after boot, It doesn't work unless I go into the Terminal's settings and then click "Save". Interestingly enough, if I close all my Terminal windows, including the `_quake` window, then I open Terminal again, Quake opens without me needing to click on "Save"

Research direction

Reproduce the first-launch failure on Windows Terminal 1.15.2874.0 with Windows+` after boot, then compare it with behavior after opening Settings and clicking Save. Trace the startup and Quake launch path to identify the difference; done means Quake opens on the first shortcut press without saving settings.
