Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.6.10571.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

When opening a program that lack a dll from Windows Terminal, the usual popup that reveal the problem is not shown. For example, today I wanted to test the 0.3 version of Mun. To do this, I downloaded the release, extracted it somewhere and launched Windows Terminal into the extracted directory. Then running commands, nothing particular happened giving me the impression the program ran fine but without doing anything. You can find the Mun issue I opened here about this. The thing is that I don't have the Visual Studio 2019 runtime installed. While this is a Mun distribution issue, the problem is not reported with Windows Terminal while it is with other terminals.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior would be the the one when using cmd.exe or Cmder where a popup appear revealing the underlying issue. See screenshot below for their respective behavior.

Actual Behavior

In the tested version, no popup appear which make finding the underlying problem harder.
