I recently updated my environment and Julia version.
I am running Julia 1.8.0 and Pluto v0.19.11.
The packages I have installed in this environment are
```julia
OhMyREPL v0.5.12
Pluto v0.19.11
PlutoUI v0.7.39
Revise v3.4.0
```
I can start up pluto just fine by doing
```julia
using Pluto
pluto.run()
```
But when I try to quit even if I haven’t opened a notebook yet it does nothing. I can’t stop the process like I used to be able to with Ctrl-C in the terminal.
Any thoughts?
Edit:
Forgot to mention in case it is relevant. I am using the Windows Terminal and running Julia in Windows Subsystem for Linux 1 (WSL1) on Ubuntu.

On MacOS I use many Ctrl-Cs in a row. Not nice, but eventually it works.

I am on a Windows machine, and can confirm that Ctrl+C does not work (Julia 1.8.0, Pluto 0.19.11).

[Windows] ctrl-C does not seems to work in the REPL to stop an IJulia/jupyterlab session either. It did work in 1.7.

Apparently, the problem is not limited to the Windows OS. In Ubuntu, ctrl+C stops Pluto but kills the entire REPL: I can not apply any further command. The only option is to kill the Julia session.
After crtl+C, the output I get is:
```julia
Exiting due to channel error
```
