i was about to suggest using winget to reinstall it but then i realized that would require a functional terminal to accomplish, something i had taken for granted

Surely the underlying cmd cli is still there even if the Terminal app wrapper is broken

[–] kamen@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

I was gonna suggest "just launch cmd directly", but then remembered that this usualy just launches Terminal if it's installed.

It is, as is the native powershell terminal, thankfully.

windows terminal preview is standalone on their github. when i had windows thats how i installed it

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 hours ago

yeah, back when I was maining windows, I went through a lot of trouble to install non-store versions.

Of course, some places lock down their employees too much for them to do that
