Resetting the computer may mismatch the version of the Terminal, update you Terminal app in Microsoft store.
Go to Library > then My Apps > Search for Terminal and Update it {if update available}
If this doesn't work, try re-installing the Terminal app.
Hope this helps ! 😊

没有效果,搜索wt和终端(terminal)表现不一样, 搜索wt无法打开应用, 搜索终端可以正常打开应用。
所以我觉得是别名出现问题了, 现在在应用管理-别名管理删除不掉这个wt

There is no effect. Searching for wt and the terminal perform differently. Searching for wt cannot open the application, but searching for the terminal can open the application normally.
So I think there is a problem with the alias. Now I cannot delete this wt in Application Management-Alias ​​Management
