How to remove annoying startup prompt in Windows Terminal

Since switching my blog to static webpage generator Hugo I am using more and more command line tools and programming tools. For coding I am using Visual Studio Code, on my macOS I am using iTerm with Oh My ZSH and of course GitHub to store content of the webpage. However on Windows as the default I switched to Windows Terminal as my main command line tool. But, on Windows 10 or 11 in Windows Terminal there is this annoying popup when you start it.
