Firstly, there is no response when double clicking on the three wt.exe applications shown in the figure.

Secondly, pressing the win+r key, entering wt, pwsh, powershell, cmd, etc., does not result in any response

Hi Zhang,

Thanks for your reply. Please kindly try the solutions below further to see if the problem can be solved.

Reset Windows Terminal

Open the Command Prompt as an administrator > execute the following command:

del /f /s /q /a "%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\settings.json"

Perform an in-place upgrade of your Windows 11.

Go to the Download Windows 11 (microsoft.com)> Click Download now.

After the downloading process ends completely, click the tool to run it. > Agree >Select the Upgrade this PC Now option > Next > After downloading, you need to choose to keep your personal files or start fresh. > Your computer will restart several times. > After that, log into Windows 11 and make the needed settings.

Note: 1. Leave 20-25G space on your system disk to perform this. 2. It is recommended to back your files up to avoid unnecessary data loss before performing this.

Feel free to keep me informed.

Best Regards,

Ian Xue

Hello! Thank you for your help, but it did not solve my problem. In fact, in the past week, I have tried to completely uninstall and reinstall Windows Terminal (including the latest version and several previous old versions), completely uninstall and reinstall Powershell, and reinstall the system using the latest Windows 11 ISO image, but none of them have solved this problem. But I have found a temporary and useful solution through continuous attempts, which is to restart my computer again after the first time it starts (note that it can only be restarted, not shut down and restarted). But this is obviously not an ideal solution, so are there any other options for me to try?

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Can I also know if you have tried the following solution to repair the system?

Kindly try the following methods to repair the system.

Method 1: Run the SFC. Follow the below steps: 1. Open Command Prompt. 2. Select “Run as Administrator”. 3. Type “sfc /scannow” without quotes and hit Enter. Now check for the issue. Method 2: Run the DISM Tool. If the issue persists, I would have you run the DISM tool to check the system health and will try to restore the files. 1. Click on 'Start'. 2. Enter 'Command prompt' in the Search box. 3. In the list of results, swipe down on or right-click Command prompt, and then tap or click 'Run as administrator'. 4. In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth To close the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter. Note: The tool might take 15-20 minutes to finish running, so please do not cancel it.

Method 3: Type the following in a Windows PowerShell as Administrator: 1.Launch PowerShell 2.Set-ExecutionPolicy UnrestrictedHi,

Thanks for your reply. Please understand that I have done a lot of research but still cannot find the solution. For such kind of issue, for deeper analysis, we should capture some performance monitor or other deeper traces. Due to limited resource in the community, it is recommended to contact Microsoft Phone Support. Support channel: Contact Us - Microsoft Support
