Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.8.1444.0 (Windows version: 10.0.19042.985)

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Type "wt" in the explorer bar

Expected Behavior

Open the Windows terminal in a window

Actual Behavior

Error:
Windows cannot find 'C:\Users\Ares\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe". Make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again.

The "wt.exe" file is present in the folder (it's 0KB and it looks like a symlink), if I double click it it doesn't work and gives the error above
