I’m certainly not confident enough in my knowledge of ACLs to recommend one. My best recommendation is to never touch them in the first place.

Arguably maybe the terminal shouldn’t be relying on a failure state in order to run it

Boy do I agree with that, but alas, that’s how Windows decided to deal with app execution aliases 🤷 It’s really not something we (the Terminal) can fix on our side.

To be clear launching it through app icon in start of by this two .exe works

C:\Users\SanokKule\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\wt.exe
C:\Users\SanokKule\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\wt.exe

It crashes only when trying to launch wt.exe through Run or with wt.exe or WindowsTerminal.exe from C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.11.3471.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
