Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.11.2921.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Installed it and it will let me change the default launch to command prompt but it won't replace the command prompt on Windows 10 with the new Windows terminal.
If i run a bat file it will open the command prompt and not this app

Expected Behavior

Terminal to run when i click terminal related files

Actual Behavior

Doesn't default as the main terminal on Windows 10
