[Bug] Cannot inintialize shell with correct path variables on Windows

[cworld1]

Description

In normal terminal application like Windows terminal, can correctly read user path or system path, but sshx cannot instead.

Try other way

I tried pwsh instead of fish, I got a new problem:

Process terminated. The type initializer for 'System.Management.Automation.Runspaces.InitialSessionState' threw an exception.

   at Microsoft.PowerShell.UnmanagedPSEntry.Start(System.String[], Int32)

And I tried cmd instead, telling me cannot find executable application on the path.

Thanks for the bug report! I've also seen this happen with Powershell on Windows, and I'm not sure why. It works with cmd.exe though and Git Bash.

Not sure how to set these environment variables properly so that Powershell can boot as a spawned process.

The point I want to convey is that all of these terminals have the problem of not inheriting Windows system environment variables. PowerShell is actually more problematic, but I don't use it very often.

Okay! Let me know if you'd like to contribute a fix for this.

I honestly don't know how Windows works at all
