Windows Terminal version

latest

Windows build number

10.0.26100.0

Other Software

Using Terminal Canary, once you go into the settings, if you try to add Github Copilot and started browser authentication the redirect does not happen and the function waits to verify authentication until the timeout.

Steps to reproduce

Go to Settings > Terminal Chat (Experimental) and click on "Authenticate via Github"Image

Expected Behavior

You should verify the token and then use Github Copilot

Actual Behavior

Nothing, only showing "Awaiting authentication completion from..."

Thanks for filing! Are you running Terminal as Admin /? Does your browser open up to authenticate via GitHub (or at all) after you click the button?

I tried both ways, both as an administrator and without permission. As far
