Windows Terminal can only be installed in user scope

[cheesecracker]

Brief description of your issue

Hello,

Currently, Windows Terminal can ONLY be installed in user scope. That means:

• If I run the command "winget install -e --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal", only current user can use the application
• If I run the command "winget install --scope machine -e --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal", a red error message is returned and the application is NOT installed

Windows Terminal is the only application I find to have this behaviour. Please tell me how to install it in machine scope, if possible.

Thanks

Steps to reproduce

Run the command "winget install --scope machine -e --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal"

Expected behavior

Application is installed in machine scope

Actual behavior

RED error message and the application is not installed

Environment

Windows Package Manager v1.1.13405

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.19044.1566
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.16.13405.0

This is the intended behavior of how MSIX apps are installed by default.

This applies to all MSIX apps—not just for Windows Terminal—as all MSIX apps are only installed for the current user even if you didn't install it through the Windows Package Manager.

If you would like to deploy an MSIX app system-wide instead of the current user, you could take a look at: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/dism/add-appxprovisionedpackage?view=windowsserver2022-ps.
