Terminal is non functional on Windows 7, using latest Webstorm

Please provide a screenshot of Settings | Tools | Terminal page and your idea.log (https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/207241085-Locating-IDE-log-files)

I'm not sure what part of the log you want, I see an error here though

weird... Do you have any 'AutoRun' commands configured in your registry, so that the certain commands are executed each time you start cmd.exe? 

I just installed brand new webstorm, and I couldn't use the terminal

Please see my question above... 'AutoRun' commands have absolutely nothing to do with WebStorm installation, installing/re-installing WebStorm doesn't affect them in any way

You're going to have to be more specific, because command prompt seems to work fine outside of webstorm, it's what I'm doing at the moment to bypass this glitch. 

I'm seeing similar behavior when using powershell in webstorm. 

Similar issue is tracked as https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-180993, please follow it for updates

Hi All,
I've been waiting for this issue and updates for nearly a month.
I've had good success with webstorm on mac for personal laptop.

I was hoping to promote this product here at work. Seeing that webstorm is facing issues on Windows 7, and the lack of support I'm having second thoughts, and may look at alternatives.
