Hi, I can’t select the Git Bash terminal as a default. The option is disabled:

I already uninstalled Local by following the [official guide](https://localwp.com/help-docs/troubleshooting/uninstalling-local/#uninstalling-local-on-windows) and installed it again and the option is still disabled.

I’m using **Windows 10 Pro** and the **Local Version is 6.1.1+5468** and no sites are created now.

There are 2 persons with this issue before in this thread:

I installed Local only for the current user (in the OS) like @Superfein said in his comment but no luck:

And for some reason only happens on this PC but in my laptop works perfectly.

Any idea what’s the bug here or are we missing a configuration in our Windows 10?

I’m thinking about the PATH variable but no idea how Local determines that Git Bash is installed or not.

Thanks.
