Context Menu -> Open in Windows Terminal -> "The server threw an exception" #8936

@ghost

Description

Note:

  1. Right Clicking on a folder and then opening the terminal works.
  2. Going inside the folder, then right clicking on empty space, and then opening the terminal gives error.
  3. I believe this was a known issue with older windows versions, that is why it was disabled earlier, but i think i saw a PR that implemented the functionality differently for older windows, but it is still not working for me
  4. I restarted explorer.exe, still gives the error. Maybe restarting the computer will make it work? I will try later and update the issue if it works. EDIT: Nope, still not fixed.
