Windows: powershell.exe not found

[799189288]

Summary

Issues caused by administrator permissions

Description

If I simply open zed, the command window will report that powershell.exe cannot be found. If I set to run as an administrator in the compatibility options, the problem is solved, but at the same time, it raises another issue that I cannot start zed using the right-click menu. I clicked but there was no response

Manually setting the environment variables of PowerShell can solve this problem,But what caused it

[Veykril]

with the command window do you mean the integrated terminal? What is the exact error you are seeing. Also do the logs state anything?
