Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_Win10_1.16.10261.0

Windows build number

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.2965]

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Can not start the app. It worked fine until I messed with (what I thought) was safe changes to the registry following this article. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-move-the-cusersusernameappdata-folder-to/35e0e881-6e66-4905-9f63-bd99477586b4

Fully aware that this is with 99% certainty not Windows Terminals fault, but that I messed with things that should not have been messed with. But when you are in desperate need of disk space you do weird stuff. Thought I should report it just in case.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

The app doesn't start normally. Starting as administrator brings up the UAC twice and then this popup image

Holy butts I cannot believe that post is still live, there's absolutely no way that should work.

Yea, everything I know would lead me to think that was deep magic that you should not have messed with 😕

maybe this is a regression from us switching to the shell:Appsfolder thing, but I cannot IMAGINE that moving %LOCALAPPDATA% would have ever worked.

Noted. Closing this issue then.
