Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Rigellute/spotify-tui/issues/516

Hello,
I installed the latest version of spt (0.20.0) with cargo into Git for Windows SDK. I went through the whole setup process and it seemed to install/setup with no problems (got passed the permissions page for spotify). When I try to start the program I get this error:

Getting mode failed
Error: IO-error occurred

Caused by:
The handle is invalid. (os error 6)

edit
I also tried installing via scoop in powershell. The install ran fine but when I run spt nothing happens at all but after piping the output into nano, I am getting the same error.

This was a problem using git bash and was resolved by using powershell.
