I'm using Win10,there're two settings.json
one of them is in
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json
and the other one is in
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Terminal\settings.json
opening from the start menu the first one tekes effect,but starting from the run window, the second takes effect.
why does this happen
