Windows Terminal and Windows Terminal (Admin) crash immmediately when launched from Win+X menu.
It will also crash if wt.exe is started from the Win+R menu.

It starts normally from the Explorer context menu and from the Start menu/All apps.
wt.exe starts also form the Task Manager, but only as administrator.

I have tried all fixes I found: Repair, Reset in settings, Uninstall and reinstall from Microsoft Store, toggle the App execution aliases.

Nothing worked.
