I have the same issue on Windows 11. Terminal will not start. I have repaired, reset, uninstalled, reinstalled and even did a Windows repair. I get this for both the stable version and the preview version.

I find this in the Event Viewer after each attempt to start it:

I have experienced the same issues as DarrenClevenger with the same results. Difference is I am running in a VM in hyperv. This occurred after the 22H2 update on Windows 11.

I have the same problems since 1.15, I need to downgrade to 1.14 in order to keep using WindowsTerminal, but since windows 11 always update the program when I reboot I need to downgrade very often.

The logged event is (in Spanish since that is my Windows language, somebody knows if I can get the log event in English, from another windows version):

PD: To downgrade WindowsTerminal I donwloaded it from github releases https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases, donwload the version 1.14. Then I uninstall WindowsTerminal (using winget) and install it with Add-AppxPackage from PowerShell

winget uninstall Microsoft.WindowsTerminal
Add-AppxPackage .\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win11_1.14.2282.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

Can you submit feedback via the feedback hub? Make sure to start a recording then try to launch the Terminal. That should get us a stack trace for whatever the root cause is here.

As an aside, are you running the N SKU of Windows by any chance?

Thanks!

from #14104 - Install the Media feature Pack could fix but it fails to install on Windows Pro N for me.
I uninstalled Windows Terminal first and then Reinstalled completed after reboot. I then installed Windows Terminal and it starts up. Thank you!!
