• Any other interesting things about your environment that might be related to the issue you're seeing?

  The issue occurs exclusively when git commands are run from an elevated prompt (despite Git for Windows being installed for all users (machine scope) rather than a per-user install). When run from a standard (non-elevated) PowerShell prompt, git functions as expected. When run from an elevated prompt, a cmd console flashes open for a split-second before closing, and the prompt in PowerShell moves down to the next line - no output.

Details

• Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

• What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example this will help us understand the issue.

$ git -v

• What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

$ git -v
git version 2.45.2.windows.1

• What actually happened instead?

$ git -v
$ 

• If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the URL to that repository to help us with testing?

<none>

I cannot reproduce:

I am also on Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.3737] according to cmd /c ver. Maybe you have some sort of anti-malware running that only kicks in in elevated mode?
