Request

Make it possible for Windows Terminal to be installed for all users

Admin users use 2 different account to run some applications, standard user and admin user, Windows Terminal can't be installed for All Users and wouldn't run using a different user that the one who installed the app.

Please make it possible to install the application for All Users.

Expected Behavior

Running the application using a different Windows account profile, such as an admin account.

Actual Behavior

When running the application as Administrator, we get this error message "The application cannot be started for the target user. Please login as the user and explicitly install this package"
