Steps to reproduce

  • search in the windows 10 search bar wt
  • Capture
  • click enter once it's highlighted
  • nothing happens
  • search wt using where.exe
C:\Users\jredfox>where wt
C:\Users\jredfox\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe

I also tried:

  • repairing the app from apps and features
  • resetting the app data from apps and features
  • unintstalling and re-installing the app from the windows store
  • double clicking wt.exe found in this path. the path was determined by clicking open file location of wt from the start menu C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.13.11431.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe and the same result happens
  • running in cmd start "" "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.13.11431.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe" -p "Command Prompt" w -1
  • running in cmd start "" "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.13.11431.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe" -p "Command Prompt" new-tab

Expected Behavior

it opens up WT UI

Actual Behavior

it either runs in the background then closes or doesn't open at all.
