Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

10.0.22000.0

Other Software

Oh My Posh

Steps to reproduce

  1. On Windows 11 (newest non-insider version)
  2. Install PowerShell Core 7.2
  3. Set as PowerShell as default shell
  4. Change Console Host to Windows Terminal
  5. Install and setup oh-my-posh
  6. After restart, win 11 goes into recovery loop - autofix not working (event safe mode!)

Expected Behavior

System should restart properly.

Actual Behavior

  1. Unable to start Windows
  2. Unable to boot with SafeMode
  3. No Srt logs created.

Reproduced twice on clean win install. Unfortunately I have no more time to test it - PC reset was required to make Windows boot again, everytime.

No issues on win 10
