Did you install the Terminal from both scoop and the Windows Store?

scoop installs the Terminal "unpackaged" which is slightly different and uses a different path for the settings file. This issue has notes of #12545 and #11777 in it...

What's the PATH when you run the Terminal from the Run Dialog, vs when it's running from the Start Menu? What does where wt output from the Run Dialog, vs the Start Menu?

This could also be due to a permission issue on the WindowsApps directory. Can you follow the remediation steps in #9452?

Well yep that'll do it. Something messed with the permissions on the WindowsApps folder, which it should ABSOLUTELY NEVER DO. The output should have looked something like:

\Program Files\WindowsApps NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(F)
                           NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller:(OI)(CI)(IO)(F)

                           BUILTIN\Users:(Rc,S,RD,REA,X,RA)

but those extra permissions are what's breaking the alias here. Did you do something to change the permissions on WindowsApps?

FYI don't do that - that kind of thing is likely to break all sorts of random bits of the OS.

That still doesn't look like the right permissions to me. I honestly don't know how to set it back to the original ones, I certainly don't know enough about ACLs to help fix that. Maybe @eryksun does.

(since this is fundamentally the same root cause as #9452 I'm gonna close this as a dupe. We can still continue the discussion here though)

/dup #9452

@0resan you may be able to restore the permissions using cacls like this

Admin Command Prompt

takeown "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps"
cacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /S:"D:PAI(A;;FA;;;S-1-5-80-956008885-3418522649-1831038044-1853292631-2271478464)(A;OICIIO;GA;;;S-1-5-80-956008885-3418522649-1831038044-1853292631-2271478464)(A;;0x1200a9;;;S-1-15-3-1024-3635283841-2530182609-996808640-1887759898-3848208603-3313616867-983405619-2501854204)(A;OICIIO;GXGR;;;S-1-15-3-1024-3635283841-2530182609-996808640-1887759898-3848208603-3313616867-983405619-2501854204)(A;;FA;;;SY)(A;OICIIO;GA;;;SY)(A;CI;0x1200a9;;;BA)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;LS)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;NS)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;RC)(XA;;0x1200a9;;;BU;(Exists WIN://SYSAPPID))"

This will replace all of the ACLs on WindowsApps with the "default" ones that I just pulled from a working system.

I cannot guarantee that it solves your problem... but it might :)
