Windows Terminal 's installation path always change after update or change version. So some settings like "Right-click menu" dont work after update and need to be update too.
I think we can choose a static-link for call wt.exe to execue. It's easy and make everything better to reconfigure our settings (special when we reinstall windows because some reasons).
Thanks for your read 😄

If you enable the wt.exe app execution alias, then the alias resides in a directory whose name does not change when you upgrade Windows Terminal. This is not the same as wt.exe in the Windows Terminal installation directory.

Yea, the app execution alias is the expected solution here.
