Environment

I don't have sure. My cmd is not opening.
Windows build number: [run [Environment]::OSVersion for powershell, or ver for cmd]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):

Any other software?


# Steps to reproduce

<!-- A description of how to trigger this bug. -->

# Expected behavior

<!-- A description of what you're expecting, possibly containing screenshots or reference material. -->
I've tried to activate the bash into Windows. I followed some instructions to activate the Windows feature "Windows Subsystem for Linux" (https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/use-bash-shell-windows-10). After that, when I tried to run bash, my terminal window quickly opened and just after closed, without ask me nothing.


# Actual behavior

<!-- What's actually happening? -->
My bash installation was not conclude, and now neither my terminal is working. When I try to open CMD, my terminal is completely on back screen..
