Weird, this seems like a _file not found_ error. You haven't changed your settings at all? What architecture are you on?

guys I found solution!
basicly go to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.0.1811.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe //or wherever You app is instaled

copy the content to another folder, somewhere where You definitely have access to modify, i used new folder on my desktop

last step run WindowsTerminal.exe from that folder as admin.

I suddenly had this issue occur today, not quite sure what has caused it since I haven't modified any path or env variables at all. Also discovered that I needed to also add %systemroot%\System32 to the PATH variable as well, since apps like ping were no longer working from PowerShell or Command Prompt.... _(good 'ol Windows 10)_

Also ran into this today. Wondering if it was part of the windows update that just rolled out. I have not changed my env vars in quite some time.

Looked into this a bit more the 20H2 windows build completely wiped out my PATHs in my computers env variables.

[edit]
Upgraded a second machine to 20H2 with the same results. My system environment paths got completely wiped.
