Same for me.
I tried the solution in #6039 but the path of the power shell, cmd, etc. is already in the path environment variable.
I don't want to run as an administrator every time.

Do you have any enterprise endpoint protection software installed? The only time we've seen this in the past is when Terminal is impacted by corporate antivirus (especially Cylance and ForcePoint). We think that might be the case here as well.

For now, closing as /dup of #6862
