Windows Terminal instructions don't work with network paths

[jacob-pro]

I have followed the instructions here for Windows Terminal: https://www.msys2.org/docs/terminals/

As such the command line is: C:/msys64/msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -here -no-start -use-full-path -mingw64

However this causes the issue network paths don't open properly:

There are various ways I thought of working around this:

• Replace the C:/msys64/msys2_shell.cmd script with a Powershell instead of CMD script
• Invoke bash.exe directly from Windows Terminal, however this will require setting environment variables which is currently not directly supported (Feature Request) Terminal Environment setting (like in VScode) microsoft/terminal#2785

The best way so far seems to be instead using:

C:\msys64\usr\bin\env.exe MSYSTEM=MINGW64 CHERE_INVOKING=1 /usr/bin/bash.exe --login

This works fine:

For inheriting the PATH, this worked for me instead:

C:/tools/msys64/usr/bin/bash.exe -c "MSYS2_PATH_TYPE=inherit MSYSTEM=MINGW64 CHERE_INVOKING=1 exec /usr/bin/bash.exe --login"

please don't use cmd as your terminal but mintty or powershell instead.
this is a windows shell issue not msys2.
i would encourage you to run msys2 locally as well
