Thanks for the report! This is a /duplicate of #15689; we attempt to disable tab drag/drop when running as Admin because of this issue[^1] but it appears that that check is broken.

[^1]: (windows platform limitation resulting in a crash? say it ain't so)

Shoot that's the inverse of this issue.

in my case, when elevated, the terminal wont even open :

Windows Terminal version 1.22.12111.0

Windows build number 25H2 (OS Build: 26200.5733 ge_release Insider Dev, Windows feature pack 1000.26100.219.0)

Other Software PowerShell 7.5.2 - Default profile Windows terminal is configurated to launch elevated by default

Steps to reproduce

• i click the terminal shortcut in my taskbar
• it shows me an admin prompt
• i enter my password to accept it
• it shows me a 2nd admin prompt
• i enter my password again and accept it
• nothing happens

Does not occur on a non-elevated Terminal window Does occur even when launching another profile (ex command prompt) Does occur when launching any elevated profile via a non-elevated windows terminal window

Expected Behavior The windows terminal should start correctly

Actual Behavior 2 admin prompts and then, no windows terminal window

ps:i tried reseting, uninstalling then re-installing the windows terminal and i also tried disabling any experimental options

This seems to be fixed in the latest version. Can you confirm it @noonand ?

Fixed might be a bit generous a term, what I now see in my version (1.23.12811.0) is the behaviour that @DHowett mentions above whereby the drag and drop functionality is totally disabled. If this is the best that can be done I guess close the bug report.

Hi, Just checked that, you are totally right and that's my bad. I also agree that this isn't the bug fix we were awaiting for so the issue is still relevant.
