A few things that would help track this down:

  • Open Powershell and paste the results of gcm git
  • If you can remember how you installed Git that would also be relevant (via git-scm.com, winget, etc)
  • The terminal you are using (I see OpenConsole on a screenshot)

Any information is incredibly helpful here as this doesn’t seem to happen on all Windows installations

  • Open Powershell and paste the results of gcm git
    CommandType Name Version Source

    Application git.exe 2.43.0.1 C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe

Application git.exe 2.45.1.1 C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe

Went here and downloaded the latest

Which updated me to

Application git.exe 2.52.0.1 C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe

Version 2.1.7 did open WITHOUT issue, then updated to

NO ISSUES!! It seems like updating git fixed the issue on my end!

Thanks again!

Hey all - apologies for this issue. We traced it back to a git command launching in non-headless mode. It’s resolved in 2.1.17+ which has been out since this morning.
