The admin powershell command doesn't appear at launch as admin. I was having this problem then I tried creating my .reg file. Also, the admin cmd command doesn't appear to open anything. I don't have WSL set up so I can't test that one.

Its because the icon file location is version dependent you need to change it accordingly the text for me is
Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.11.1191.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

you can resolve as ..

cd C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\
ctrl + f 'Microsoft.WindowsTerminal'
select & copy the name
replace all with the new name

Once the app is in public release I hope it'll have a fixed folder
