Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the listed Windows Terminal versions: launch through Explorer's "Open with Terminal", switch to Command Prompt, and run a CLI binary with a missing DLL or runtime error. Compare this with launching cmd.exe or Windows Terminal through Win+R; done means the system error dialog appears in the Explorer-launched path as well.
