Originally created by @ktzsolt on GitHub (Jan 18, 2024).

Windows Terminal version

1.18.31.81.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

My profiles are not working I get only basic PS prompt, when I try to launch the wsl profile I even get

[process exited with code 3221225495 (0xc0000017)]
You can now close this terminal with Ctrl+D, or press Enter to restart.

I tried to repair, reset and even reinstall Windows Terminal, even though with uninstall it's directory C:\Users\myuser\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe is deleted but when I install it again the settings.json is recreated and it will miraculously contain my previous settings.json that I have no idea where it gets from. I even restarted the computer after uninstalling and before reinstalling, still the same.

I also did a winget install --id Microsoft.Powershell --source winget before today, maybe this messed up things somehow? Had no issues before with this.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Not working as intended

I started "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7\pwsh.exe" from start run, and after that Terminal started to work again as it should. Strange.

That error code indicates that you might be out of memory. Glad the issue went away. Let us know if the issue comes back.

I doubt, I have 32 GB RAM and also I restarted the computer multiple times. What finally solved is that I started pwsh.exe from start menu, run. Maybe it's installation/setup/bootstrap didn't finished until I started it manually?
