Description

Windows Terminal version

1.19.10821.0

Windows build number

10.0.22631.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Create the following batch file:

@echo off

REM restart maximized if not already
if not "%1" == "max" start /MAX cmd /c %0 max & exit /b

echo Beep boop
timeout /t 20

With all Terminal windows closed, double-click to execute the script.

Expected Behavior

Terminal window should open maximized and display the 20 second countdown.

Actual Behavior

You will see a terminal window pop up momentarily then exit, rather than waiting the 20 seconds.

Open a Terminal window in the background, then double-click to execute the script again. You will see a maximized terminal window pop up showing the countdown from 20 seconds (as expected).
