Can't launch wt.exe elevated (from explorer UI) #6013

I have this same issue, and I am able to get it to work if I hold ctrl + shift and click the icon. |
Why don't you just right click it? Wouldn't that be easier? I just have it pinned to the taskbar and rightclick "Launch as Administrator" (this works from Start Menu too). I tested

does indeed not launch an elevated Windows Terminal. The only difference between OP and my tests is the Windows build: [Version 10.0.19041.264] |
