This path will cause an authentication failure:

In Windows, ~ is just a character and has no special meaning. So the current result is reasonable, please use the absolute path to specify the identity file path, thank you.

But when I sync the profile between two computers with different OS, It will not (and definitely should not) work if the path is windows-style (C:\xxx).

Also, the tilde works in Microsoft PowerShell. So I think supporting tilde on Windows isn't that unreasonable.

Yes, PowerShell does support this. I will add support for this in the next WindTerm_2.3.0_Prerelease_3 version so that the Profiles folder can be shared between different systems, but only when ~ is at the beginning of the path.

The new version is expected to be released this weekend, please stay tuned, thank you.
