i was about to suggest using
wingetto reinstall it but then i realized that would require a functional terminal to accomplish, something i had taken for grantedSurely the underlying cmd cli is still there even if the Terminal app wrapper is broken
I was gonna suggest "just launch
cmddirectly", but then remembered that this usualy just launches Terminal if it's installed.That's when you open PowerShell ISE.
It is, as is the native powershell terminal, thankfully.
windows terminal preview is standalone on their github. when i had windows thats how i installed it
yeah, back when I was maining windows, I went through a lot of trouble to install non-store versions.
Of course, some places lock down their employees too much for them to do that
We can't even use Windows store. We have a bespoke portal that has a very small list of approved programs to install.
Yup, I know just where that happens. It's probably a joy to work in your IT. They probably have a keyboard macro for "no"
