I am seeing an issue with the settings part of the installation. Whenever I press Settings to change some of the behaviors of the program, another program (Max 6.0) opens instead of the actual settings.

Environment

Windows build number: [run `[Environment]::OSVersion` for powershell, or `ver` for cmd]
Win32NT             10.0.18362.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18362.0

Windows Terminal version (if applicable):
 0.5.2762.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Just press the settings button

Expected behavior

To open the settings for Windows Terminal

Actual behavior

Opens another program called Max
