Possible Solution
As described in the Windows Terminal Release page:
In addition, if you install the packaged version on either Windows 10 or Windows 11, it now depends on the Visual C++ Universal Runtime Package.
So this chocolatey package is missing that dependency.
After I've manually installed it with:
# install the Visual C++ Desktop Universal Runtime Package dependency.
