You can see clearly from the screenshot, after opening the terminal, the window leaves blank and soon it will exit with No Response.

@mingsxs Same here. I installed Terminal using scoop package manager. I'm just wondering how you installed it. Maybe that's relevant here.

If I uninstall my current instance (that I originally installed through scoop package manager) and I download the .msixbundle file from https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/tag/v1.7.1033.0 and install it manually using Add-AppPackage in PowerShell, then Windows Terminal opens successfully.

If I remove it again using Remove-AppPackage and reinstall it via scoop package manager, it fails again. So I'm guessing something is wrong with the scoop install script.

doubtful anything is wrong with the script, most likely it's just intermittent failures and it happened to work a few times when you installed it manually

/dup #9821

Scoop installs terminal in an unsupported way. We're working on fixing it, but we have never supported the way that they installed us.
