Windows Terminal version

1.16.10262.0

Windows build number

10.0.22624.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

via Run dialog

Open Run dialog with Win+R, enter either wt or wt.exe

via right-click menu

I have custom registry keys to launch Windows Terminal from File Explorer in the current directory with a particular profile, that have previously worked on this machine and work fine on a different machine. A brief excerpt:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\0WT]
"MUIVerb"="Open in Windows Terminal with..."
"SubCommands"=""

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\0WT\shell\000flyout]
"MUIVerb"="Windows PowerShell"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\shell\0WT\shell\000flyout\command]
@="wt.exe -w 0 nt -d \"%V\" -p \"Windows PowerShell\""

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal does not open, silently crashing without popping up an error dialog. Checking "View all problem reports" gives the following report:

Source
WindowsTerminal.exe

Additional information

Windows Terminal launches fine from:

  • the Search dialog
  • the default "Open in Terminal" right-click option in File Explorer
  • The Windows Terminal "Command Prompt" and "Windows PowerShell" profiles as current user
  • The Win+X menu "Terminal" and "Terminal (Admin)" options

I have tried toggling the Windows Terminal "app execution alias" twice, with no changes.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Terminal from the Windows App Store, with no changes.

Output of where wt.exe:

C:\Users\bobmc\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe
