Originally created by @serialhex on GitHub (Aug 23, 2022).

Windows Terminal version

1.14.1962.0

Windows build number

10.0.19044.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Windows terminal
  2. Change your $env:Path in Windows, OUTSIDE of that tab (Example: install Rust for the first time; or Rt click My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables -> Add a new entry to Path)
  3. Open a New tab
  4. Check the output of $env:Path from both tabs. Neither tab has the updated $env:Path.

Expected Behavior

The new tab should have the updated $env:Path just as if you opened a new PowerShell / cmd window. I just tested with a new Terminal window, and a fresh Terminal instance has the updated $env:Path.

Actual Behavior

It seems that new terminal tabs keep the same $env:Path for each Terminal window.

Awesome, thank you @zadjii-msft! I did try and search for an open issue, but I guess my GitHub searching skills aren't up to snuff. Hopefully this will help other people who search for something similar find the proper issue.
