update:

• pretty sure that v1.16.1026 worked normally therefore this issue is introduced in after automatically updating via MS store
• have updated Win10 to latest (22H2, 19045.2965) but no help
• have tried to uninstall in system application and re-install via MS store again but no help

I'm experiencing a similar issue, however only when starting Windows Terminal with 'Run as administrator'. Curiously the UAC displays 'Unknown program' instead of Window Terminal.

Have been experiencing the same thing. As some have suggested, 'that is the point do not have to elevate', that is false and misleading. There are some things you actually do still require elevated in order to use any terminal, not just WT. So whatever the issue is, needs to be fixed ASAP.

[z3nn13]

I can also confirm. I have the exact same Terminal & Windows version, and this issue started happening recently.
It seems that running either "wt.exe" or "WindowsTerminal.exe" directly from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.17.11461.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" does not work anymore.

However, as pizzacrystal said, both clicking the Start Menu shortcut and opening via MS Store still functions.
I have attached a screen record showing this issue.

You are not intended to launch those files directly out of that directory.

[z3nn13]

I see, but the problem still persists. Before, I was able to run wt from the search bar or windows run command. Now, it loads for a bit and nothing shows up (as in the video above).

[DHowett]

This may not lead anywhere, but can you share the output of running cacls "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps" /s as admin?

That doesn't quite look correct does it? Compared to mine:

my ACLs of "WindowsApps" folder are exactly the same as z3nn13's.

it seems that all "GA"(SDDL_GENERIC_ALL) access rights are changed to "FA"(SDDL_FILE_ALL), on the other hand, "GXGR"(SDDL_GENERIC_EXECUTE + SDDL_GENERIC_READ) is replaced by unknown right "0x1200a9", and finally there is an 'extra' line in the end.

Is access right the essential cause of this issue? and why did it occur?

[carlos-zamora]

There are a couple of remediation steps over in #9452. If you're looking for a solution to this bug, please avoid anything that resets the ACLs or taking ownership of the WindowsApps folder. In the meantime, you might be able to get by with the unpackaged or portable mode install.
