Originally created by @shooshx on GitHub (Oct 8, 2020).

Environment

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.904]
Windows Terminal 1.3.2651.0

Steps to reproduce

Click WinKey+R to open the "Run" window, write "wt", press OK

Expected behavior

This used to work with the previous version and open windows terminal, as it does work with "cmd"
This is a regression in the latest version
Previous version had "wt.exe" in a different place which is accessible
Running "wt" from within the terminal does work and open a new terminal window

Actual behavior

I get this message box:

[Window Title]
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.3.2651.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe

[Content]
Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

[OK]

Do you have both preview and stable installed at the same time?

@sergiokessler you need to register the application for both your normal user and the administrator user. I believe that's a different (but similar!) issue.

I had the same issue when I had both the stable and preview version. But now I only use WT preview.
You can fix that by using only one of them

I think the preview version should be named as wt-preview.exe like code-insiders for Visual Studio Code Insiders . That would be better

Sorry, I missed that, how can I tell if I do?
Going into C:\Program Files\WindowsApps using an administrator cmd.exe I see:

How do I remove the old versions?
