zsh processes accumulating under WSL; not being killed on window closure

Issue

Using zsh under WSL, closing Hyper will not kill the zsh process. If zsh is launched from a .bashrc, zsh processes will accumulate each time a terminal window is opened, leading to terminal slowdown after just a few windows have been opened and closed.

To reproduce, run zsh in Hyper using WSL shell, then close the terminal window. Repeat a few times, if desired. Then, open Task Manager (or run ps -ef; the output will be manageably short on WSL) and count the zsh instances.

Yeah, my solution has just been to use Ctrl-D rather than closing out of the window. This seems to kill all of the processes as desired.

One last update to this issue: I resolved it by merely reinstalling Windows. I hadn’t refreshed since last year so it was a good time to do a fresh install!

1. Reinstalled Windows 10
2. Updated to 1903 (pretty sure it was on 1809 prior, I think that might have been it tbh)
3. Installed Firefox, Lastpass
4. Windows Subsystem for Linux
5. Debian
6. Hyper
7. Configured Hyper to use wsl.exe, installed zsh, set it as the default shell.
8. Profit!
