None of those are related. This is about the action of running executables and whether they execute inside Windows Terminal vs the console host.

Yea you're right, the bot couldn't find /dup #10276.

Due to a limitation in the app platform it is impossible for Terminal to be "discovered" as the handler when the application that needs a terminal is running elevated
