Why are you trying to run the things in WindowsApps directly? There's a pile of permissions on those files that are designed to stop you from doing that, and changing those also can randomly break other things. See #9452 and https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3ACulprit-Centennial+ in general.
