Hyper: Can't open Hyper after change Shell Preferences into Powershell.

[fuaditrockz]

When I changed my 'Preferences' shell to 'PowerShell' like this 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe'. Then, I started again my Hyper. Voillaaa... my Hyper Apps was force closed/cannot open again and again. When I test find to Troubleshooter, I've find this;
'A Javascript Error Occured in the main process
Uncaught exception:
Error: connect ENOENT

I've uninstall and install it again, but I find same error everytime. I've used Windows 10 btw. Thanks for help before...

I've solved this by;
Change the preferences to default > Save the preferences > and then 'End Task' this app on Task Manager > and Running again.

@fuaditrockz So you didn't manage to get powershell to work with hyper? Mine keeps crashing.

I've solved this:
Just below the SHELL entry, there is a SHELLARGS entry. I delete the '--login' string and it works, which is already mentioned in the comments :)

I have the same issue but i got 2 errors. I'm running on v2.1.2

Errors:
'A Javascript Error Occured in the main process

I tried reinstalling and resetting the hyper.js file by removing it, I STILL get the same error.
But when I run the installer, it runs smooth, the error will only show when I reopen hyper.

Am I missing something here?

I have the exact same problem here.
(Edit)
Hey guys, I've found the solution for this particular problem, which is by unchecking the compatibility box.
Right click on the hyper.exe -> open properties -> go to compatibility tab -> uncheck the compatibility mode option.
This only solves the exact issue that @techuila has, works for me. All the best, have a good one.
