I think I understand what happen, when open a new tab, wt use the command new-tab --profile {GUID}, this GUID is the one of the profile in the settings of the standard account, but when try to open a profile as admin (when the admin is another account) it load the settings from the admin account which doesn't contains the GUID that wt try to load and then the default profile is loaded.

As a workaround I copied the GUID of the Powershell profile from the standard account to the Powershell profile in the setting file of the admin account.

Ho boy this is a good edge case here. I don't think any of us considered that "Run as Admin" (where the admin account != your current user account) uses the settings from the admin account, not your own.
