Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Windows Terminal Version: 1.10.2383.0

Other Software

windows terminal + WSL +Ubuntu

Steps to reproduce

I have wsl - Ubuntu as my default profile in WIndows Terminal.

I have noticed whenever I am trying to launch the terminal by default to the Ubuntu home directory using the "wsl -d Ubuntu-18.04" in my Terminal Config file I am getting the following error and I am not able to open wsl.

[error 0x8007010b when launching `wsl -d Ubuntu-18.04']
Could not access starting directory "//wsl$/Ubuntu-18.04/home/tridib"

However if open the command prompt and type wsl I am able to launch Ubuntu which opens it by default on my windows user folder and then I need to cd into the Ubuntu home directory.

Is there something I am missing in my config.
