with default settings problem not exist

problem exist when in default profile option "run profile with admin rights"
aka:

settings.json
"profiles":
{
"defaults":
{
"elevate": true
},

or not default profile, but profile start as default...

Okay got it so:

  • You're running everything as admin (with UAC disabled)
  • You manually run the Terminal not as admin
  • But in the Terminal settings, it's set to auto-elevate.

And that causes it to crash loop on the start. FWIW, I think there was an auto-elevate crash loop that was fixed in 1.18 Preview.

We should probably not do this (but kinda neither should you 😜)
