Thanks. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. After typping "wmic startup get caption,user,location" in Windows Terminal, it states:

PS C:\Users\User> wmic startup get caption,user,location
Node - USER
ERROR:
Description = Invalid query"

The option to turn 'Launch on machine startup' on or off is in Terminal's Settings.

I know, but I want to get rid of it in Task Manager's startup apps tab. It shows up as disabled.

It sounds like the command may not have been typed correctly. It looks like there an extra space at the left of the command.

Now it states:

No Instance(s) Available.

In that case, double check your Windows Terminal settings as Bree posted to make sure it's turned off to run at startup.

I've just checked, and turning it off in Terminal's settings does not remove it from the startup apps in Task Manager, just switches it from enabled to disabled.

If you really want terminal gone from startup you could uninstall terminal from programs then system reverts back to Powershell.

If you decide later you want to reinstall terminal you can install from the Microsoft Store or just run this command in Powershell.

get-appxpackage Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -allusers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

I don't uninstall it, only remove it from startup.
