I'm running a German localization on this machine, so translations might be a bit off.

Expected result:
Windows Terminal is launching

Actual result:
Windows terminal is crashing on launch.

I've installed Windows Terminal from the Store and receive the following error upon launching it:

terminal-error1

I do believe the correct translation to this is:

data area passed to a system call is too small

The Event Viewer Shows the following entry:

0x8007007A: Der Prozess für das Paket Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.2.2381.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe kann nicht erstellt werden, da beim Konfigurieren der Laufzeit ein Fehler aufgetreten ist. [LaunchProcess]
