Windows Terminal version

1.16.10262.0

Windows build number

10.0.22621.0

Other Software

git version 2.39.1.windows.1
Visual Studio Code 1.75.1 (user setup)
Github desktop Version 3.1.6 (x64)

Steps to reproduce

I don't know what exactly happened. Day before I have fresh installed windows 11

I suspect that after installing git for windows installer tried to add git bash profile to windows terminal. Day after I have discovered that windows terminal can't load settings, throws obscure error and terminal stats using temporary configuration.

I have tried to delete settings.json and state.json, but nothing happened.

Also in settings.json I haven't seen git bash profile, so maybe git have added profile to somewhere else?
Even reinstalling windows terminal didn't help.

Expected Behavior

Everything works fine.

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal on every startup open this dialog:
