Originally created by @carlos-zamora on GitHub (Nov 21, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.17.2982.0

Windows build number

25236.1010

Other Software

PowerShell (potentially caused by multiple versions installed?)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Windows Terminal (see PowerShell Core profile)
  2. Open new tab (different PowerShell profile appears)

Helpful info

settings.zip

defaultProfile is set to a legacy version of powershell core. However, that profile doesn't exist anymore. It's interesting that...

  1. resolving it on startup results in a different profile than when hitting the new tab button
  2. I can't seem to edit that profile? It doesn't seem like it's hidden. Idk why it still resolves correctly?

Expected Behavior

Both tabs should contain the same profile

Actual Behavior

Both tabs have different profiles.

The PowerShell generator finds the "best" version of PowerShell and assigns that one the "PowerShell Core" GUID. If your "best" version of PowerShell is outdated, that indicates either a bug in our algorithm or on your machine. We should debug!

Initial probable cause: the profile has been deleted. Will live debug this when Carlos gets back.

oh boy, our logic for "your default profile doesn't exist" might not work for a deleted dynamic profile

Or, this might be a dup of #14061 or #13916
