Can't run Windows Terminal without Administrator

[LoganDark]

Windows Terminal version

1.13.11431.0

Windows build number

10.0.19041.572

Yes, this has actually downgraded since my last bug report. Blame the fact that I had limited download options.

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

See #13099 (comment) and the comments leading up to it.

1. I was given a command that completely ruined every app on my system.
2. I had to do an in-place upgrade to fix the issue.
3. Windows Terminal, through any amount of reinstalls, now cannot run without Administrator.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Windows Terminal, through any amount of reinstalls, now cannot run without Administrator. I also cannot double-click the msixbundle to install (I get some permission error), but Add-AppxPackage works.

The wt command is not found in a non-Administrator Command Prompt, but it is found in an Administrator Command Prompt.

No Start Menu entries work for any part of Windows Terminal, not even the shortcuts, unless run as Administrator.

I reset UAC and reboot, and it works for me.

What do you mean "reset UAC"?

Do you mean turning this slider to the very bottom?

[lonnywong]

"reset" means I didn't change the level.

Mine is "Never notify", I click it, and then click "OK", and then it said I need to reboot. It works after reboot.

Btw, I change the level to default, and reboot again, it works too.

"reset" means I didn't change the level.

That's a weird way to use the words, but OK.

Mine is "Never notify"

Well, I don't want to nullify all security on my computer. There's a reason UAC exists.

[lonnywong]

I'm using the default level, and it works.

I think you can set it to any level, just set it again. Click it to make it saying you need to restart the computer.

[lonnywong]

1. open the UAC.
2. click the level. No matter which level you are using, and you don't need to change it, just click it.
3. Click OK. You should getting "restart the computer".
4. Reboot the computer. It should work.

3. You should getting "restart the computer".

I'm actually not for some reason? I can change the level all I want without restarting. Even completely disable it and re-enable it again and the changes apply instantly (i.e. it's not asking me to reboot). Should I just reboot anyway after messing with it?

[lonnywong]

It must be a bug.
I can't reproduce it now. Maybe you should try to reboot anyway.

Rebooted my computer again, still can't open Windows Terminal without administrator. :/

Sorry for not helping.
I have the same issue before, and happened to solve it yesterday.
