Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18990.1]
Windows Terminal version: 0.5.2622.0
Windows Terminal doesn't find PowerShell Core unless it was installed via a standard MSI.
However, folks can also install PowerShell via .NET Core global tool (which is makes its detection and location different) https://devblogs.microsoft.com/powershell/introducing-powershell-as-net-global-tool/
Or you can install PowerShell Core via an MSIX installer (not an MSI) https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/releases
I would propose that we detect all three of these PowerShell Core possible installation vehicles and make profiles for them. Example: PowerShell Core (MSIX), PowerShell Core (Global Tool), etc.
PowerShell Core is totally ignored when installed in these alternate, but supported, ways.
Nada.
Hey Scott, thanks! This is a /dup #2300. There鈥檚 a comment at the bottom asking for additional guidance on some of these points. Any thoughts?

I couldn鈥檛 even get the msix installed but I can confirm that powershell core isn鈥檛 picked up with global tool install
