  1. Windows Terminal was working fine
  2. my c drive as running out of space because of appdata huge size
  3. Created a mklink /J "C:\Users\sameer\AppData\Local" "D:\sameer\AddData\Local"
  4. Tried to run windows terminal but now it's not working
  5. Uninstalled and reinstalled windows terminal
  6. Still not working
