Windows Terminal version

Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2965]

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Can not start the app. It worked fine until I messed with (what I thought) was safe changes to the registry following this article. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-move-the-cusersusernameappdata-folder-to/35e0e881-6e66-4905-9f63-bd99477586b4

Fully aware that this is with 99% certainty not Windows Terminals fault, but that I messed with things that should not have been messed with. But when you are in desperate need of disk space you do weird stuff. Thought I should report it just in case.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

The app doesn't start normally. Starting as administrator brings up the UAC twice and then this popup
