Originally created by @vefatica on GitHub (Feb 8, 2021).

I manually created this profile in settings.json.

            {
                "commandLine": "wsl.exe",
                "cursorShape": "vintage",
                "guid": "{4ba2fd44-db0a-44c1-95c2-ee4e55916fa1}",
                "hidden": false,
                "name": "**Ubuntu**"
            },

When I try to activate it (from the dropdown in Start\Run ... wt -p Ubuntu) I get a tab with CMD.EXE in it?

Am I expecting too much or doing something wrong?

commandline (note the lowercase l). Our settings are case-sensitive. 😄

Thanks. I would have taken me forever to spot that.

So I changed it to "commandLine". It's still coming up with CMD.EXE (which is not my default profile). In fact, just starting WT with no options gives me CMD.EXE?

(Did it work when you changed it to a lowercase l?)

I don't know exactly what I did, but I'm almost certain it was my error. I started over with the settings.json fron the non-preview install (which was pretty up-to-date) and made the Linux profile. All seemd OK now.
