Did you restart Windows Terminal? Hot-reloading isn't enabled yet for this setting.

I have tried restarting Terminal, rebooted my system and tried uninstalling and
reinstalling and set the same property. It still doesn't work!

I had the same issue after updating to windows version 2004. I am not sure as to why this is happening but I know I can still change the image for my powershell instance.

A workaround to display the image for me was to run wsl through Powershell.

For example, for your settings, I would change it to something like:
{
"guid": "{07b52e3e-de2c-5db4-bd2d-ba144ed6c273}",
"hidden": false,
"name": "Ubuntu",
"commandline": "powershell.exe -Command "wsl"",
"backgroundImage": "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\img.jpg"
}

If Ubuntu isn't your default wsl instance you can just add a -d flag for the distribution you want to run.

Hey sorry for the delay, but what happens if you try using an image path that's not under C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState? What if you try moving the image to just C:\Users\Administrator\img.jpg?
