Thanks for opening your first issue here! In case you're facing a bug, please update navi to the latest version first. Maybe the bug is already solved! :)

I described a workaround for this problem in #794
It enables almost all previewing capabilities of navi when using bash on windows
The workaround can probably also be used for other shells when the environment variables are set correctly

Hi @jimmy-loyola ,
Do you still reproduce your issue with the latest version of navi and defining the shell.command directive in the configuration file to powershell?

The shell part of the configuration should look like this:

shell:
  command: powershell
