    How can one remove Windows Terminal from startup? It appears as disabled. I'm using Windows 11 22H2.

    Already did. Like I said, it states it's disabled. I want to get rid of it in Task Manager.

    Terminal creates a UWP StartupTask, which can't be removed by normal commands. You have to block this task before App provisioning.

    Mount source ISO.
    Integrate the latest version of Terminal .msixbundle (optional).

    cd \Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_n.nn.nnnnn.n_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
    Edit AppxManifest.xml, and remove lines:
    Code:
            <uap5:Extension Category="windows.startupTask">
          <uap5:StartupTask TaskId="StartTerminalOnLoginTask" Enabled="false" DisplayName="ms-resource:AppName" />
        </uap5:Extension>
    Add reg entry to prevent WU from updating UWP apps:
    Code:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsStore]
"AutoDownload"=dword:00000002
    Make new ISO & install.

    Don't upgrade Terminal app, and this stops working if MS ever decides to patch Terminal using a CU.

    What is app provisioning? So, there's no way to fix this problem on a live install?

    I guess it's too much work, then.

    I don't want to remove it.
