Windows 10.0.18363.1909

I just installed WindowsTerminal. When I try to run it (by any means) I get a message box stating the following.

c:\program files...\windowsterminal.exe

The service has not been started

Help! Thanks! - Vince

That's very curious. Can you share the output of...

sc.exe query dcomlaunch
sc.exe query AppXSvc

Thanks

That's very curious. Can you share the output of...

sc.exe query dcomlaunch

sc.exe query AppXSvc

AppXSvc is manual and starts/stops as needed. I have been told I need “Desktop Bridge VC++ v14 Redistributable Package”. I don’t have that

Interesting. You might want to tune in to #3097; there's a couple suggestions there for getting it up and running. Worst case scenario, you can unzip the msixbundle file (it's just a zip file).

It looks like this one isn't exactly related to the terminal, just the app installation machinery... so I unfortunately have to close it out.
