I installed and uninstalled the windows terminal three times but still, the settings.json file is not opening. I tried making VSCode as a default editor but nothing happens. I tried installing some text editors from Microsoft Store and made them default apps for .json files, but still no response.

Environment

Windows build number: Version 10.0.19042.630
Windows Terminal version: 1.4.3243.0

Actual behavior

Settings.js file is not opening
