Repro or Code Sample

Open a Windows Terminal window with a PowerShell tab and do the following:

1. python packages/service/scripts/install_examples.py
2. pipx install ni-measurement-plugin-sdk-generator
3. Use Task Manager to kill NI.Discovery.V1.Service.exe.
4. ni-measurement-plugin-client-generator -s ni.examples.GameOfLife_Python
5. Try to type another command into the Windows Terminal window.

Expected Behavior

Windows Terminal window still works.

Current Behavior

Windows Terminal window does not accept input.
