Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3451.0

Any other software? Not that I can think of to cause this application to crash.

Steps to reproduce

Install from Microsoft Store or download from Releases Tab.
Open Program

Expected behavior

First Run default profile loaded for configuring

Actual behavior

Upon opening program, the following error happens:

[C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.7.3451.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe]

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.7.3451.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WindowsTerminal.exe

The parameter is incorrect.

This doesn't happen on my laptop which is weird. Other UWP(style) programs do run like the Camera App, Calculator, etc. It's just this particular program that doesn't like my copy of Windows.
