Windows Terminal version

1.22.250204002

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

Install in portable mode, pin to task bar, right-click.

(Note: I copied my settings .json files from an older non-portable install, so the existing profiles used ms-appx URLs.)

Expected Behavior

Jump list should show all profile icons, including built-in ms-appx: ones.

Actual Behavior

Only profile icons that are .exe file paths or https URLs work: ms-appx: URLs or paths/file: URLS for ico/png images do not.

To get profile icons working again, I ended up using https links to e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/microsoft/terminal/refs/heads/main/src/cascadia/CascadiaPackage/ProfileIcons/%7B0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101%7D.scale-200.png in place of the corresponding ms-appx URL. (This is probably not a great idea but it works as a workaround.)
