This has been happening to me since PowerShell 7.2-preview.6:#15496
But this issue was closed with the explanation: "This is a known issue that will be fixed when PSRL 2.2.0-beta3 drops".
iSazonov commentedon Jun 25, 2021
Yes, 2.2.0-beta3 is needed. Please report the issue in #15510

I'm trying to install PSRL 2.2.-beta3 with elevated privileges, but it is failing:
I will figure it out! :)
MaximoTrinidad commentedon Jun 25, 2021
So, I can manually remove the PSReadline module folder from the 'C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7-preview\Modules" location.
Now, I can open PowerShell 7.2-preview.7 without PSRL.
I still trying to install the PSRL 2.2.0.-beta3... no luck with it! :(

Ilya (@iSazonov),
Success!! ... But strange behavior to resolve this issue.
I had to log on with the "Administrator" user-id in order to install PSReadLine 2.2.0-Beta3.
Only then I can go back and sign on with my normal user-id and run PowerShell 7.2-Preview.7 without any issues in Windows Terminal.
I'm good now! But have I notice that when I sign on with the Administrator ID, PowerShell will open the prompt outside Windows Terminal App. I never had to use the Administrator ID for anything, until now.

Installing to C:\program files\ has always required elevated permissions.
