Windows Terminal version

1.16.10261.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.0

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch a regular elevated cmd.exe prompt (Start menu -> search for cmd.exe -> Run as administrator)
  2. Execute the following command: runas.exe /netonly /user:testtest wt.exe (username and password don't need to be valid)

Expected Behavior

When launching Windows Terminal using runas.exe from an elevated cmd.exe prompt I expect a usable Windows Terminal application.

Actual Behavior

Not possible

  • Enter text in the console
  • Press enter to go to a newline
  • Any shortcuts like Ctrl + Shift + 1 to launch a new terminal

Possible

  • Paste text in the console; when pasting multiple commands with newlines like [1], the commands are executed
  • Click on any buttons in the interface, which then work as expected
  • Only once using the mouse the Settings panel has been opened, shortcuts like Ctrl + Shift + [digit] or Ctrl + Alt + [digit] work sometimes (unclear under which conditions)

[1] Example of multiple commands which can be copy/pasted

Get-ChildItem
whoami.exe
