Windows cmd ` <exited with error: File not found: >`

[Andrej730]

Describe the bug

Not sure what happened, but all commands started to return <exited with error: File not found: > error.

 ╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
 │ > run git version                                                                                                  │
 ╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

 ✗ Check git version
   $ git --version
   <exited with error: File not found: >

 ● Git is not installed or not in the system PATH.

 ╭────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
 │ > run echo hello                                                                                                   │
 ╰────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

 ✗ Echo hello
   $ echo hello
   <exited with error: File not found: >

 ● There appears to be an issue with the PowerShell environment. The echo command
   should work in PowerShell. Let me try with the PowerShell cmdlet:

 ✗ Write hello output
   $ Write-Output "hello"
   <exited with error: File not found: >

 ● The PowerShell environment appears to be unavailable or misconfigured. All
   commands are returning "File not found" errors.

Another detail - issue occurs only if copilot started from cmd, doesn't occur if started from powershell.

Investigating error, I though maybe the problem is that pwsh.exe is located at C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7-preview\pwsh.exe, though C:\Program Files\PowerShell\7-preview\ was added at PATH, but maybe it has a problem handling spaces in the path.

And I've tried to move it to C:\powershell\pwsh.exe and add C:\powershell\ to PATH and it worked. Though it doesn't explain why it worked yesterday without this path.

Oddly enough, after it worked I removed C:\powershell\ from the PATH and restarted cmd and it also started to work 🙃

No idea what it was.
