Yes, this has actually downgraded since my last bug report. Blame the fact that I had limited download options.

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

See #13099 (comment) and the comments leading up to it.

  1. I was given a command that completely ruined every app on my system.
  2. I had to do an in-place upgrade to fix the issue.
  3. Windows Terminal, through any amount of reinstalls, now cannot run without Administrator.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal, through any amount of reinstalls, now cannot run without Administrator. I also cannot double-click the msixbundle to install (I get some permission error), but Add-AppxPackage works.

The wt command is not found in a non-Administrator Command Prompt, but it is found in an Administrator Command Prompt.

No Start Menu entries work for any part of Windows Terminal, not even the shortcuts, unless run as Administrator.
