Description
Issue Description
I am not able to run my existing WPF + PS based code while specifically in the integrated console due to the fact that the integrated console runs in MTA. The same code does work fine either in a normal, standalone session (which I mean as launching PWSH.exe from the run dialog/similar) of PS 7 or in a standard (non integrated console) session of PWSH in VSC. Standalone sessions and standard sessions in VSC run under STA.
Background
Powershell 7.0 preview 3 (re) added STA as an available apartment state and also set it back to being the default apartment state.
STA is needed to run WPF and WinForm code as they will only run under STA. Previously PS Core removed STA as an option because there was no need to run under anything besides MTA as WPF/WF were no longer supported, but 7.0 preview 3 defaulted back to STA as a feature point to implicitly support WPF/WF.
Attached Logs
Steps to reproduce:
0. Set Powershell 7 as the default session
1a. Launch the integrated console
2a. run [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.GetApartmentState()
3a. Output is: MTA
1b. Launch a "normal"/standalone pwsh session
2b. run [System.Threading.Thread]::CurrentThread.GetApartmentState()
3b. Output is: STA
Expected Results for step 3a:
Either the output is also STA or an option to use STA by default
