01/17/2025, 4:08 PMGot a weird one. Up until this week, I had no issues with this script. Anyone ever see access is denied errors when launching Terminal as a different user? The account I'm launching it as has full control over the settings file, so that shouldn't be an issue.

01/17/2025, 5:01 PMI have had this happen when the Windows Apps get updated, they change the permissions so you can't launch directly from the windows apps folder. You have to use a different exe location, or reset the permissions on that windows apps folder, like I do for my Teams launching.

01/17/2025, 5:04 PMI checked the perms, and they should be good on the app. I can try it again.

01/17/2025, 5:06 PMYeah, still busted. This is driving me nuts, and furthers my hatred for Store apps. Could always just use PS directly, but I actually like Terminal

01/17/2025, 5:07 PMEven using the Portable Terminal has the same issue

01/17/2025, 6:38 PMYeah, I've been at this for hours and can't correct it. Coincidence or not, I also can no longer update my KeePass passwords via the poshkeepass module in PS7. Works in PS5 still.

01/17/2025, 6:58 PMTried them all - using WT in any form throws the error. If I could suppress the error maybe it wouldn't be a big deal.

01/17/2025, 6:59 PMI just can't figure out why it's having issues accessing the JSON for the profiles, seeing as how ProcMon shows no issues there, and perms are correct.

01/17/2025, 7:14 PMI'm ready to throw my keyboard through the monitor here. I can get around all of this if setting Terminal to Windows Console Host. But after launch PS5 a few times, it reverts back to Let Windows Decide and then starts using Terminal, literally preventing me from launching a straight up PS5 executable outside of Terminal

01/17/2025, 9:30 PMI swear I'm not going crazy, but I had to re-add the perms to %AppData% and then the error went away. Like I said, I swear I triple-checked this.......

01/18/2025, 1:17 AMOn the poshkeepass front, I can either change Terminal to use PS5.1, or I think I can rewrite the script to use this module: https://fatherjack.github.io/articles/SecretManagement Tested a few things with it, and I think it'll work. I'll probably rewrite the script for this new method so that I can never run PS5 ever again (RIP, you the OG)
