Windows Terminal version

latest

Windows build number

10.0.26100.4946

Other Software

I can't open the Windows Terminal anymore. It worked perfectly fine yesterday but since today I can't open it through any way. Like not through a desktop shortcut, not through the Start Menu and not with administrator mode. I tried reinstalling it, but that didnt fix it. What do I do?
I saw it was running in Task Manager and when I killed it, the normal cmd.exe window opened.

Steps to reproduce

Not sure if this can be reproduced, but:

  • Open Windows Terminal
  • Watch nothing happen

Expected Behavior

Windows Terminal should open

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal doesn't open
