Originally created by @jaapvandervelde on GitHub (Sep 9, 2021).

I read issue #4448 and checked that the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service is running correctly (restarts, etc.)

However I still have this issue: if I'm running a Terminal (PowerShell) and I start a second one with this command:

Start-Process -FilePath "powershell" -Credential $(Get-Credential -Message 'Domain admin password required.' -UserName <some valid username>) -ArgumentList '-NoExit', '-Command', "cd $(Get-Location)"

A new PowerShell window opens, but the behaviour of it is very odd. Keyboard input doesn't seem to arrive at it, but when I type something (for example whoami to check it worked), it does show up after I switch focus away from the new window. The same behaviour applies to the Terminal Windows I started it from. It now only shows entered input after switching focus away from it.

If I close either window, the other will start working normally again immediately. I do not have this issue when starting a separate PowerShell window from the Start menu, regardless of whether I start it as myself, as local admin or as the same other user.

Note that the user account I'm starting the new PowerShell as is a domain admin account, while the account running the original Terminal window is not. Not sure if it matters, I don't have a spare non-domain admin account on hand to try if the same problem occurs when using a non-admin account.

Hmmmmm. There's something weird about the way the credential manager window is interacting with the console window here. It's like, blocking the Console window from being focused, like it's a MessageBox or something. I wonder if it does something extra weird when the console is a conpty without a real window.

Okay I think this is fixed as of 33b8a20. Or at least, I can't seem to repro it anymore. Admittedly, I can't exactly repro this on 1.12 either. I don't think I ever see the "new" powershell window open. The credential dialog does open, but there's no other console window around failing to receive input.
