Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.19042.0, 1.8.1521.0

Other Software

Windows Terminal Preview

Steps to reproduce

Yesterday I got a new Windows Terminal update via the store:
grafik

My wt.exe suddenly pointed to the installed preview version of Windows Terminal instead my default stable one:
I'm using the following shortcut: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe

Expected Behavior

When starting wt.exe, the stable Windows Terminal should launch

Actual Behavior

When starting wt.exe, the preview version of the Windows Terminal comes up
Thanks to the different icons I saw it, that the wrong version comes up.

I uninstalled Windows Terminal Preview and installed it again - the problem was gone.
