Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.6.10571.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

I deleted the old settings.json file

Expected Behavior

I have such a problem. Namely, when he wants to make such modifications https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-terminal-now-has-a-hidden-graphical-settings-editor/ in the windows terminal, he receives this error 'Failed to reload settings'.And now my question. Where does such an error come from if I do everything in accordance with what is given in the guide? How to fix it?

Actual Behavior

This error continues 'Failed to reload settings'

This is the contents of the old settings.json file

// This file was initially generated by Windows Terminal 1.0.1401.0
// It should still be usable in newer versions, but newer versions might have additional
// settings, help text, or changes that you will not see unless you clear this file
// and let us generate a new one for you.

// To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button.
// For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation

{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",

    // "defaultProfile": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",

    // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel.
    // Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown,

I think this is probably one of those BOM related issues.

See #9310

btw you may want to attach a screenshot shot of the special error you run into. That would be much more helpful sometimes.

FYI, you can just keep replying on your original thread. You don't need to make a new one just because the bot closed it.
