Steps to reproduce

win+R then type "wt" in Run

Expected Behavior

Start the terminal

Actual Behavior

wt crashed immediately, with the same logs just like https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/13193.

However, with any other ways to start, like start menu, right-click menu or run "wt" in another terminal, it works well.

While running "wt" fails, running by specifying the full path works, i.e. running %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe worked perfectly. This serves as my current workaround.

I doubled checked that %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe is already in my PATH

Curious. What's the whole value of your PATH? Or more specifically, from CMD, what does where wt output/?

By the way, I found that running with explorer path box

will get the same crash, too🤔

For some reason, PowerToys run doesn't recognize wt at all on my machine.

Can you try running this /?
fsutil reparsepoint query %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe

We'd like to know the contents of that to debug this further.

Running this command returns Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.

I think it's because I have 4 wt.exe: Canary, Preview and Stable versions.

Although, I don't have an issue running wt from run dialog. (I just realized my last comment was off topic since I thought this is PowerToys repo. Oops) .

Thanks. We were more hoping for ThomasETN and Anans2 to help out with that. You seem to be having a different issue.

For you: can you turn off your app execution alias in the "Manage App Execution Aliases" settings page, and then turn it back on?

Can you try running this /? fsutil reparsepoint query %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe

We'd like to know the contents of that to debug this further.

just like AvogatoWizardWhisker's.
Is it right? I can start wt through this path🤔

Hmm... Ok, could you use feedback hub to get a trace for us /? Thanks

Can you also go into your Windows settings and switch the app execution alias? You mentioned 1.20 in the bug report, but the log you posted says 1.21, so we're a bit suspicious of that.

other notes:

  • you mentioned a Stable terminal version at the top of the post, but then the crash is coming from a Preview build of the Terminal.
  • WindowsTerminal.exe is the thing that's crashing (not wt.exe). So running wt did spawn and get into WindowsTerminal
  • your wt.exe does point at the stable one
  • is the stable one handing off to the preview terminal somehow? that'd be weird

I doubt if it has anything to do with the preview versions, because unlike Anans2 I'm on 1.20.11381.0 all along, I don't even have the preview version installed... yet we seem to be facing the same issue 🤔

Oh, I got it wrong. I have tried switching to the preview version to repair it but got the same result. Now I am certainly using the stable one.

I found that starting through the path "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.20.11781.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe" will make it crash. However, using the softlink "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe" works will, even though the softlink points to former one🤔
I guess that the Run used the former one and shell used the latter.

Huh well yep that would do it! Can you run the following in an admin command prompt window:

cacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /S

we think the permissions on WindowsApps did get messed up, which is why this is failing to spawn. If the permissions did get messed up, there's not a ton we can do. If it was only the Terminal package that had bad permission, it'd be possible that a reinstall might fix it. But if it's all of WindowsApps, you're in for a bad time.

It's worth noting that I had this same issue on a relatively fresh install of a Windows 11 laptop (a SEPARATE computer that I have not mentioned in the bug report above). I checked and lo-and-behold %programfiles%\WindowsApps was visible to me, so I must have attempted to open it before. I used this SE/SU answer to restore permissions to the WindowsApps folder itself and return ownership to NT Service / TrustedInstaller. After running the cacls command and using the GUI to change the owner, wt worked again.

I tried using a combination of this and the WindowsAppsUn## tool made by AgentRev on the computer mentioned in my bug report, and this did not work, which makes sense as this is a very old W10 install and I've likely messed with the WindowsApps folder a few times over its life. It might even have been carried forward all the way from Windows 7, 8, 8.1 ... but specifically, I blame the icacls /reset command that is suggested in numerous places on the internet. This command apparently CLOBBERS the permissions recursively inside the WindowsApps folder and I'm annoyed that its use is so widespread.

I checked and lo-and-behold %programfiles%\WindowsApps was visible to me, so I must have attempted to open it before. I used this SE/[SU](https://superuser.com/a/1730061/316197) answer to restore permissions to the WindowsApps folder itself and return ownership to NT Service / TrustedInstaller. After running the cacls command and using the GUI to change the owner, `wt` worked again. I tried using a combination of this and the WindowsAppsUn## tool made by AgentRev on the computer mentioned in my bug report, and this did not work, which makes sense as this is a very old W10 install and I've likely messed with the WindowsApps folder a few times over its life. It might even have been carried forward all the way from Windows 7, 8, 8.1 ... but specifically, I blame the `icacls` /reset command that is suggested in numerous places on the internet. This command apparently CLOBBERS the permissions recursively inside the WindowsApps folder and I'm annoyed that its use is so widespread. ```console DO NOT RUN THIS COMMAND ⚠⚠⚠⚠ ic​acls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /res​et /t /c /q DO NOT RUN ^^^^^^^^^ ```

I used this SE/SU answer to restore permissions to the WindowsApps folder itself and return ownership to NT Service / TrustedInstaller. After running the cacls command and using the GUI to change the owner, wt worked again.

Thank you. I can run wt again after following https://superuser.com/questions/1288014/reset-default-acls-for-c-program-files-windowsapps/1730061#1730061. Will try to use https://github.com/AgentRev/WindowsAppsUnfukker in the future.
