  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

@DHowett commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2020):

I do not believe this is a supported configuration for any of the Windows-owned user data directories. If you need to use Terminal in a non-standard or non-supported Windows configuration, you will need to extract the msixbundle (it’s just a ZIP file) and manage the installation yourself.
