What
On Windows, Claude Code looks for PowerShell (pwsh) on your PATH, the list of folders Windows searches for programs. Sometimes the copy it finds is only a Microsoft Store alias, a small stand-in file that is not the real program. Claude Code now follows that alias to the real program, or skips it when it cannot, instead of using it as found.
Why
The Store stand-in can fail when Claude Code tries to run it, so skipping it avoids a broken PowerShell.
