Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.592]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_0.8.10261.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Any other software?
I currently have a Manual build + self signed installation of the version 0.6, that's the only one i could install here.

Steps to reproduce

  • Update to 1909 by using Windows10Upgrade Assistant
  • Make sure you are using a Corporate network that is desesperate to block the windows store and enforce it with a firewall.
    Basically, unplug your network i guess and try to disable the store as much as you can
  • Download and install Desktop Bridge VC++ v14 Redistributable Package
  • Download and install v0.8.10261.0 msix bundle
  • Run it, crash on start :
