Copilot CLI (newer versions) does not run on Windows 11 – exits immediately

[VujaNS]

Describe the bug

I’m unable to run newer versions of GitHub Copilot CLI on Windows. The CLI installs successfully, but running any copilot command results in no output and immediate exit.

• Newer Copilot CLI versions 0.0.368 exit immediately with no output and no error
• Only version 0.0.367 works on this machine

Question

Are there any additional diagnostics/logging I can enable to help identify why newer versions exit silently?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Affected version

0.0.368 and any newer version

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Installed Copilot CLI using:

   winget install GitHub.Copilot

2. Restarted PowerShell.

3. Tried running:

   copilot --version
   copilot --banner
   copilot

   → No output at all

4. Tried launching copilot.exe directly:

   • PowerShell window opens briefly and closes immediately.

5. Downloaded and tested copilot.exe v0.0.367:

   • This version works correctly.

6. Troubleshooting already attempted:
   • Cleared npm cache
   • Allowed Copilot CLI through firewall (public + private)
   • Verified Node, npm, and PowerShell versions
   • Reinstalled Copilot CLI multiple times

Expected behavior

copilot commands should run normally and display output (version, banner, interactive prompt, etc.).

Additional context

OS: Windows 11
Node.js: 24.13.0
npm: 11.6.2
PowerShell: 7
Subscription: Copilot Pro

I don't have any logs because it exited immediately with no output and no logs generated.
