Got it, so:

  • Looks like you disabled UAC entirely, so Terminal is always running with admin permissions.
  • That makes me think this is the thing we fixed in #14946. I don't think we backported that to 1.17. Can you double check this with Terminal Preview set as the default terminal application/?

This is basically unrelated to the OS version. The Terminal ships versions entirely separately from the OS. The code that checked if the Terminal was elevated or not didn't work exactly right before Terminal 1.18. I suspect if you install Terminal Preview (1.18), this will work for you.

Thanks for the feedback! Looks like this was fixed in #14946. So we'll mark this as a /dup of #13928.

Version 1.18 or higher should include a fix for this issue. You can download it from the Releases page, microsoft store, or winget. Thanks again! :)
