Environment

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Terminal Verison: 0.8.10261.0
WSL1 with Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS

Steps to reproduce

I changed the default profile from power shell to Ubuntu in settings.json using the profiles guid.

Expected behavior

Ubuntu to be default profile.

Actual behavior

The Terminal makes Ubuntu the default profile but instead of loading Ubuntu it loads powershell in the Ubuntu shell. I tried reverting the default back to powershell but it will not revert back. So even though the powershell is again the default in settings.json, it has kept loading the Ubuntu hybrid as the default. If I open WSL through powershell that does work and Ubuntu seems to work as expected then.
