Descripción

### Describe the bug

I’m unable to run newer versions of GitHub Copilot CLI on Windows. The CLI installs successfully, but running any `copilot` command results in no output and immediate exit.

* Newer Copilot CLI versions 0.0.368 exit immediately with **no output and no error**
* Only version **0.0.367** works on this machine

Question

Are there any additional diagnostics/logging I can enable to help identify why newer versions exit silently?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

### Affected version

0.0.368 and any newer version

### Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Installed Copilot CLI using:

```powershell
winget install GitHub.Copilot
```
2. Restarted PowerShell.
3. Tried running:

```powershell
copilot --version
copilot --banner
copilot
```

→ **No output at all**

4. Tried launching `copilot.exe` directly:
* PowerShell window opens briefly and closes immediately.

5. Downloaded and tested **copilot.exe v0.0.367**:
* This version works correctly.

6. Troubleshooting already attempted:
* Cleared npm cache
* Allowed Copilot CLI through firewall (public + private)
* Verified Node, npm, and PowerShell versions
* Reinstalled Copilot CLI multiple times

### Expected behavior

`copilot` commands should run normally and display output (version, banner, interactive prompt, etc.).

### Additional context

**OS**: Windows 11
**Node.js**: 24.13.0
**npm**: 11.6.2
**PowerShell**: 7
**Subscription**: Copilot Pro

I don't have any logs because it exited immediately with no output and no logs generated.
