Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

  • After updating to PowerShell 7.6.0 via MSIX, the existing profile in Windows Terminal (source: Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore) stopped working.
  • Even after a clean reinstallation, Windows Terminal no longer automatically detects or injects the PowerShell 7.6.0 profile.

    "colorScheme": {
        "light": "One Half Dark"
    },
    "guid": "{574e775e-4f2a-5b96-ac1e-a2962a402336}",
    "hidden": false,
    "name": "PowerShell",
    "source": "Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore"
}
  • Before (7.x.x - 7.5.5)

Expected behavior

Windows Terminal should automatically detect the MSIX installation and generate/update the profile using the `Windows.Terminal.PowershellCore` source.

Actual behavior

The profile is either ignored or not generated at all.
