While watching the great @shanselman show off his shiny new terminal in dotnet community standup, we encountered an interesting use case. I've included the clip below.

Environment

Steps to reproduce

Using gpg to sign commits, it throws an access denied error.

Expected behavior

Some expected output shown from gpg in colors?

Actual behavior

gpg: AllowSetForegroundWindow(#) failed: Access is denied.
