Issue
Hyperterm crashes when shell: 'C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe', is set in the config. I noticed this after I updated to 1.4.4. After restarting the app, it just crashes.
Windows also updated before hand but Hyper was not crashing that time.

@itsjoel works here, try
Thanks! It seems that it doesn’t work if you have anything in shellArgs, even “”. It’s working now.
So that I can set my default shell to
zsh?bash.exereads a different file than thewsl.exeone.@leodutra I know this but the OP just wants to use zsh which doesn’t require the baggage of WSL to work - it only requires Git-Bash in Windows.
One might ask WTF you’re using Hyper in Windows for if you’re intention is to actually use WSL? Why not use a GUI inside WSL and install Hyper there?
If, however, you’re goal is the same as the OP, Git-Bash is more than sufficient.
I’m not sure what happened but this still doesn’t work. It doesn’t work with git-bash in Windows, either.
I will try the fix mentioned in https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/2200 It’s about powershell so I didn’t bother with it much.
Really sleepy right now so tomorrow i will try it
