Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.10.1933.0 / 10.0.22000.65

Other Software

Windows Subsystem for Linux as Default Profile

Steps to reproduce

  • Set a wsl distro (automatically detected) as default profile
  • Set windows terminal to be default terminal application
  • Add a console app (cmd/powershell) to windows startup
  • Reboot
  • ...
  • Receive error on unable to find default profile (because wsl provider hasn't inited fully presumably)

Expected Behavior

  • Windows terminal is able to correctly run startup apps

Actual Behavior

  • Error message - unable to find default profile
  • Closing the terminal window and restarting WT after startup has complete correctly finds the wsl profile

As weird as it seems, this is actually going to be fixed when we finish #10669. /dup #10669
