Windows Terminal Error when using 1.18

[fljamie]

Trying to run minikube.exe from Windows Terminal. If I open a normal powershell or cmd window it runs fine:

PS C:\Users\username> minikube start

• minikube v1.18.0 on Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19042 Build 19042
• Using the vmware driver based on existing profile
• Starting control plane node minikube in cluster minikube
• Restarting existing vmware VM for "minikube" ...
• Preparing Kubernetes v1.20.2 on Docker 20.10.3 ...
• Verifying Kubernetes components...
  • Using image gcr.io/k8s-minikube/storage-provisioner:v4
• Enabled addons: storage-provisioner, default-storageclass
• Done! kubectl is now configured to use "minikube" cluster and "default" namespace by default

But...i open a terminal and run it from powershell, powershell 7, or cmd window and i get this:

PS C:\Users\username> minikube start

❌ Exiting due to MK_WRONG_BINARY_WSL: You are trying to run windows .exe binary inside WSL, for better integration please use Linux binary instead (Download at https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/.). Otherwise if you still want to do this, you can do it using --force

Notes

Environment
