Error when starting winutil.exe

HI, when I start winutil.exe I get an error as shown in the attached image. However if I run the online version it runs fine. Any ideas what’s up with that?

I paid for the executable because I wanted to chip in towards the utility. As far as I can tell the utility still works even after throwing up the error, for example the tweaks and updates mods definitely worked for me. Would be good to be able to run offline though.

The error likely occurs because older systems, typically Windows 10, do not have Windows Terminal (wt) installed by default.

You can also install Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n0dx20hk701?ocid=webpdpshare

Or use winget from an elevated PowerShell: winget install --id Microsoft.WindowsTerminal -e

Marvellous, thanks for this. I’m on Windows 11 Pro, so how i’ve come not to have wt installed I know not how!
