Environment

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal Version: 0.10.781.0

Steps to reproduce

Launch the program

Expected behavior

No error about non-unique profile guids when all profile guids in settings are unique

Actual behavior

Error message on launch:
Found multiple profiles with the same GUID in your settings file - ignoring duplicates. Make sure each profile's GUID is unique.
launch_error

profiles.json.txt

Off-topic, but please fix the default fuzzy text, an awful experience for a first look and to have to go hunting through bug reports and merge requests to find a JSON property to add to your settings to fix is horrible. Attached my current launch view side by side with a properly rendered PowerShell. "cleartype" setting doesn't seem to have an effect, maybe due to the aforementioned profile error.
