That is not my experience. I just tried it twice, searched for Notepad, it opened right up both times and closed the start menu, and I have terminal open with two WSL sessions.

EDIT: OK, now I see it. It is specific to pinned folders in the Start Menu, not search or pinned Apps. I don't generally pin folders to Start so that's why I wasn't seeing it.

Interesting. It was happening for all of my folders, IIRC, although it’s possible the ones I tried happened to be pinned. I don’t use the pins on purpose anyway.
