Then your IT has blocked use of the terminal and store for your account.
Which makes sense for regular users to reduce the chance of fuck-ups and rise of a shadow IT.
This isn’t a Microsoft issue (except for the slightly unspecific error message).
In a previous company, they roled out their update every few months. Every time, it closed all the ports we need to actually work. Make ticket, wait until IT got around to it, tell people no connection means no work. Those were the days to update documentation.
Its possible the IT admin misconfigured, but blocking the terminal or the store would not make sense at this company since most employees need them on a daily basis.
Could be part of an ISMS framework for ISO 27001, too. Just went through the latest round of audits at my workplace, with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 being the most recent. Think I aged 15 years this time around.

That’s an assumption
Nope, there’s official confirmation that it is.
Not really. Today at work that error appeared to me. As a software developer of course I have access to terminal, I use it every day.
I just closed the message and opened the terminal again, and it worked.
This is Microsoft’s fault, not any other’s.

Update: most definitely a microsoft issue https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/19764
Never! Couldn’t possibly be M$’s fault! It’s definitely somehow your IT department!
Beautiful bug report
That’s definitely an issue with your IT department. My work Windows laptop came with the terminal accessible.
Yea and Usain Bolt can run real fast and you can’t
You got problems buddy
I mean I was able to open the terminal just fine a few hours ago
Maybe they’ve updated their security policies? Could be to prevent users from installing unapproved software via winget, etc.
I have definitely never done that myself, if anyone asks …
It’s a MS issue, not isolated
OP’s company has good opsec.
