PR Summary

People having a hard time using the UpdatePowerShell feature and would often close VS Code which causes the MSI to close because it's a child process.

I tried using detached:true in the SpawnConfig parameter of spawn but it didn't work in vscode... (it did work in a raw js file so I suspect a vscode or electron bug...)

As a best effort, I have us closing all terminals named "pwsh" in hope that that will discourage folks from closing the VS Code instance that ran the MSI.

also I snuck in using pwsh for the Windows task because I'm tired of errors caused by Windows PowerShell...
