Windows Terminal version

1.17.1023

Windows build number

10.0.22000.1516

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

I installed the Windows Terminal stable (1.15.3466.0) and preview (1.17.1023) releases from the MS store.
When I follow the steps in the docs to restore the Windows Terminal Preview to default settings, it always resets to the stable version's settings instead of the default settings

Expected Behavior

Reset settings back to the original default settings.

Actual Behavior

Stable version's settings are used.
