Hello,
I have a VDI pool with fslogix profile containers with a non-persistent setup
I would like the users to have access to the new "Windows Terminal" app and allow them to retain their custom settings for this app.

I installed the app with add-appxpackage in the master, the binaries are in the c:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder

The user start the app, but nothing happen, if the user adds the app himself, the app is working as long as he is logged. After a new login, the same thing happens :(

What am I missing ?

Thanks in advance<

François

    Hello Karlie,

    Yes, that's it.
    I don't really use another windowsapp (appx) I was avoiding it ;)

    My install PS:
    Add-AppxPackage -Path 'C:\Download\Apps\Windows Terminal\Packages\6e5d01f204ef4812a0b6cbf9eed8aa54.msixbundle'
    Add-AppxPackage -Path 'C:\Download\Apps\Windows Terminal\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.4.3243.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle'

    I saw on this forum, suggestion to exclude the %appdata%\Packages folder, but I want to keep the custom settings.json

    Thank you for your support

    François
