Originally created by @dudeofawesome on GitHub (Apr 25, 2020).

I've just updated (and refreshed my settings.json) and now my PowerShell 7 profile doesn't seem to work. Instead of launching pwsh it launches wsl.

Environment

Windows build number: `10.0.18363.0`
Windows Terminal version: `0.11.1121.0`
PWSH version: `7.0.0`

Steps to reproduce

Here's my settings.json.

// This file was initially generated by Windows Terminal 0.11.1121.0
// It should still be usable in newer versions, but newer versions might have additional
// settings, help text, or changes that you will not see unless you clear this file
// and let us generate a new one for you.

// To view the default settings, hold "alt" while clicking on the "Settings" button.
// For documentation on these settings, see: https://aka.ms/terminal-documentation
{
    "$schema": "https://aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",

    "defaultProfile": "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",

    // You can add more global application settings here.
    // To learn more about global settings, visit https://aka.ms/terminal-global-settings

    // If enabled, selections are automatically copied to your clipboard.
    "copyOnSelect": false,

    // If enabled, formatted data is also copied to your clipboard
    "copyFormatting": false,

    // A profile specifies a command to execute paired with information about how it should look and feel.
    // Each one of them will appear in the 'New Tab' dropdown,
    //   and can be invoked from the commandline with `wt.exe -p xxx`

Expected behavior

Opening a new terminal tab to the PowerShell profile should open the PowerShell profile.

Actual behavior

Opening a new terminal tab to the PowerShell profile opens WSL (with the PowerShell icon).
