Description
Users have reported issues with Windows Terminal failing to open after installation or updates. This affects usability and can lead to frustration among users.

Proposed Solution

  1. Investigate Startup Conditions: Review the conditions under which Windows Terminal fails to launch, particularly focusing on the “run as administrator” setting for profiles.
  2. Implement Error Handling: Enhance error handling during startup to provide clearer feedback to users when an issue occurs.
  3. Create Recovery Options: Develop a recovery feature that allows users to reset settings or revert to a previous configuration if startup fails.

Benefits
• Improved user experience by reducing startup failures.
• Increased reliability of the application, encouraging more users to adopt it.

Additional Notes
Refer to existing issues and user feedback for more context on this problem.
