Open Windows Terminal JSON settings. Next, in profiles array find the object for the shell you're searching and copy the guid value from it. The last step is to paste this value into the globals > defaultProfile nodeattribute.

{
    "globals" "$schema": 
    {
        "alwaysShowTabs" "https: true//aka.ms/terminal-profiles-schema",
     
    "defaultProfile" : "{CMD GUID GOES HERE0caa0dad-35be-5f56-a8ff-afceeeaa6101}",
        "initialCols" : 120,
        "initialRows" : 30,
        "keybindings" : 
....
