Hyper install not working

[premedios]

• I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: Windows 10 Home

• Hyper.app version: 2.1.1

• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: deleted as per other issue

• Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A

• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Is Vanilla

Issue

I installed the new version of Hyper (2.1.1) but it's not showing in the start menu! Why is this not in Program Files!?!?!

Same issue, it is installed in "C:\Users[username]\AppData\Local\hyper\app-2.1.1", Hyper Terminal is running (Hyper is showing in the Task Manager), but it does not show any window or UI.

• hyper i hyper-material-theme
• hyper install hyper-material-theme

@senjoux It's as the error log says, hyper is installed in windows and there are some limitations on using the cli directly from wsl.
You can try cmd.exe /C hyper i <plugin>
If that doesn't work just do cmd.exe once and run the hyper command there and then exit from cmd.
Let me know if it worked for you.

The first comment about start menu issue is for v2.1.1 please try with latest version and create new issue if it's still there.
Second comment is about #4035
third seems to be resolved.
