If I renamed the above settings.json to settings.json.old. Open windows terminal to create a new one and change defaultProfile to {0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}, reopen it, then it worked.

So what's the problem of the above settings.json?

I found the newly create settings.json changed a lot of config setting structures.
