Environment

Windows build number:  Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.450]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.1.2233.0

Any other software?
VS Code
MS Teams
Steam
Spotify
Chrome

Steps to reproduce

Not entirely sure what happened as it was a silent crash.
The system has been up for at least two days.
Terminal was running a java app via maven and a gulp watch in separate tabs

Expected behavior

If crashing, show an error with a possible message why

Actual behavior

Terminal app silently crashes showing no error

Event log

It did throw an event log which I can attach in full. I'm not sure if there's any security issues in doing so, I don't think it's a memory dump but I'm happy to forward to the secure email address if you like.
I think these parts from the event might be helpful:

Event log:

The program WindowsTerminal.exe version 1.1.2007.20001 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

Might possibly be related to #7345 - but I didn't check if existing processes were still running, sorry. This crash occurred yesterday around 10am ACST.
Interestingly, the version reported in the event log doesn't match the version presented when opening Terminal's "about" screen - could it be related to a forced update closing terminal while still in use?
