@renansj Downloaded the preview release from the store, as of now unable to reproduce your issue, tried all 3 combinations, using kali-linux as WSL.

Hi guys,
I had this problem (reproduced) but it is solved after a restart.
now when I follow the steps the app freezes for a couple of seconds with blank window, but then exits successfully.

@scottwmwork Had the same prob, try to add "C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe" to "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" and then uninstall and reinstall windows terminal - solved the issue for me.
