We may also want to follow the Windows Shell option that dictates what shell lives in your WIN+X menu.

The registry key set by taskbar settings is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\DontUsePowerShellOnWinX
The default is 0 to use powershell I believe.

If that regkey is 1, let's use cmd.exe as the default profile when creating the default profiles.

You know, we've been using pwsh > powershell as the default for a couple years now, without any major complaints. Plus, they got rid of the "default shell" setting entirely in Windows 11, so I think it's safe to cut this one.
