Expected behavior 🤔

Should launch assistant and ask for user input.

Running with VS Code + Containers works fine. Just won't load using Windows CMD.

Found related issue #2551 after posting this, but I do not see a fix given for 2551

[Llnski]

I am also having this issue, running in fresh Windows 10 VM.

[ZylerKade]

@Llnski I was never able to get this working using Windows CMD, however I ended up installing VS Code and running it with Dev Containers, was able to get it running that way.

[Llnski]

@ZylerKade ; I was finally able to get it working in Powershell(although I'd assume this fix would be just as good in cmd) by installing https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170.
