Windows Terminal version (if applicable): commit 2da5b0b

Steps to reproduce

Build a terminal, open WSL profile.

  1. If setting(profiles.json) has startingDirectory, erase it.
    At commit 2da5b0b, there is no startingDirectory for WSL

  2. Set "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%"

Expected behavior

Both WSL starts at home directory as user. (/home/username/)

Actual behavior

  1. if there is no startingDirectory, WSL starts at /mnt/c/WINDOWS/System32
  2. if startingDirectory is %USERPROFILE%, WSL starts at /mnt/c/Users/Windows-Username

found that starting with "commandline" : "wsl.exe" make this problem, "commandline" : "ubuntu" does fine.
