Open Site Shell drops me into the wrong Windows folder

Hi,
Just installed v5.2.3 on a Windows 10 box. My local sites are configured to be housed on my D drive. C is the system drive.

After building site, all files are properly created in D:\local_sites_v5\newv5site. Site loads properly and admin is available.

Open Site Shell command drops me into C:\Users\Matt which is not the WordPress install. Any CLI commands offer me the dreaded:

C:\Users\Matt>wp plugin list
Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress installation.
Pass --path=path/to/wordpress or run wp core download.

I can switch to my D drive by entering the command d:

C:\Users\Matt>d:
D:\local_sites_v5\newv5site\app\public>

…and now I am in the WP intall and CLI works.

It would be REAL nice if I didn’t have to change drives when dropped into the shell. v3 handled this correctly.

Thanks,
Matt

This happens to me as well, would be awesome if they can fix it.

Issue for me as well, running Local 5.5.3 on Windows 10 Pro.

I have my sites installed on drive D: (as well as Local itself), and Open Site Shell simply opens up the current user folder on C: i.e. C:\users\username.
Simply switching to D: makes it jump straight to the correct site folder and wp-cli works as intended.

A fairly minor issue for now, since simply D: + Enter takes you to the right place. Of course a fix would still be nice.
