Steps to reproduce

here is my settings.json:

{
  "profiles": {
    "list" : [
        {
            "guid": "{07b52e3e-de2c-5db4-bd2d-ba144ed6c273}",
            "hidden": false,
            "name": "Ubuntu",
            "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
        }
    ]
  }
}

I went to the terminal this morning and found that the wsl profile was missing from the list. What happened? Yesterday he was on the list

Expected Behavior

Windows.Terminal.Wsl profile will be displayed

Actual Behavior

If you manually start wsl.exe outside of the Terminal first, then open the Terminal, does it come back? WSL has a pretty hard time of starting promptly when we want to ask it what distros are installed, and that's lead to a variety of issues like this.

Yes. I solved this problem by rebooting. Sorry, I forgot to close the issue.
