All of a sudden I got this same issue. What i had done recently -

1. I had installed wsl and ubuntu image.
2. I opened terminal settings and tried to set the starting directory for wsl. For some reason, it kept on resetting to the default starting directory and would not let me change it.
3. After some time, I had no more use of wsl, so i uninstalled it. (This step might not be required, i have “alwaysShowTabs” set to false and i only use the default powershell profile, so i only noticed this issue now when i needed a different profile)

Then, i found that Terminal now showed a default profile. When i opened settings.json, i found a stray profile (note that this profile was in addition to the wsl profile) -

{
	"startingDirectory": "<dir i was trying to set for wsl>"
}

Without a “name” property, the name defaulted to Default.

It looks like some bug with the code that reads/writes from the SUI to the json file. For some reason, instead of updating a profile, it is creating a new profile with the only property that the user was trying to modify. It might also be related to some wsl handling.

What can be the possible reason for this behavior to happen? Can you please tell?

If we knew, we’d tell you! That’s what we’ve got to investigate here.

Could you share the contents of your settings.json file?

Reopening and moving to v1.9

SUI = the Settings UI

@carlos-zamora, you’ve been working on the SUI mostly, wanna take a first stab at investigating this?

Any update on this yet??

@Krrishdhaneja FYI we generally don’t check our work emails on the weekend, and largely only work M-F, 9-5. We appreciate you patience ☺️
